atlas VS hcl

thanks for contributing this! i will definitely check it, was thinking about using https://atlasgo.io/ for declarative sql code, glad there is another option!

Atlas is a modern database schema management tool that provides a declarative way to manage database schemas and migrations.

fwiw, I personally am interested in this approach too[0]. I keep running into roadblocks around the ordering of events and some of the hairy issues around "destructive" actions (eg: renaming columns). i think we can get there, especially once we make progress with this LSP.

There are other notable mentions in this space:

Atlas: https://github.com/ariga/atlas. It can be integrated with any ORM, but also has an official one for GORM: https://atlasgo.io/guides/orms/gorm

Run the queryx db:create command to create a PostgreSQL database, and then run queryx db:migrate to automatically create the database migration files and database structure. Queryx’s database schema management is built upon Atlas.

hcl is still MPLv2 https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl/blob/v2.23.0/LICENSE and my complaint is that the .go file has one import path but the compiler is going to secretly use a fork, versus updating the import path like a sane person. The only way anyone would know to check for why the complied code behaves differently is to know that trickery was possible

And that's not even getting into this horseshit: https://github.com/opentofu/hcl/blob/v2.20.1/go.mod#L1 which apparently allows one to declare a repos _import_ path to be different from the url used to fetch it

I have a similar complaint about how in the world anyone would know how "gopkg.in/yaml.v3" secretly resolved to

A Bake file can be written in HCL, YAML, or JSON. Docker recommends choosing HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) because it supports a more feature-complete Bake spec than the others. A valid Bake file should be called docker-bake followed by your chosen file extension.

In Kubernetes, we define deployments via YAML files. Whereas Nomad leverages HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language).

Note that the Terragrunt configuration file uses the same HCL syntax as Terraform itself in terragrunt.hcl. Terragrunt also supports JSON-serialized HCL in a terragrunt.hcl.json file: where terragrunt.hcl is mentioned, you can always use terragrunt.hcl.json instead.

Terraform HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) is an essential language for cloud engineers in 2024, particularly for those involved in infrastructure as code (IaC) practices. HCL is the configuration language used by Terraform, a widely adopted tool that enables engineers to define, provision, and manage cloud infrastructure using a declarative configuration approach. Learning Terraform HCL allows cloud engineers to automate the deployment and lifecycle management of cloud resources across various service providers, ensuring consistency, repeatability, and scalability of cloud environments.

Reminds me of [HCL](https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl), but without all the providers to deploy the config?

HCL: A Go implementation structured configuration language. The native syntax of HCL is inspired by libucl and nginx configurations. It is used to create a structured configuration language that is friendly to humans and machines, mainly for DevOps tools, server configurations, and resource configurations as a Terraform language.

HCL has a JSON representation [1], internally, objects behave that way. so it should be possible to write a Jsonnet wrapper around it. Terraform can currently parse json pipelines too.

I'm not sure this is the criticism you think it is. Wow, so you basically have to add quotes to get strings in some ambiguous situations?

Yeah sure you could probably improve YAML by getting rid of these weird pitfalls, but that is a minor improvement. The alternative isn't something like TOML, because YAML is optimized for hierarchical configuration. It's every vendor implementing a different syntax such as Hashicorp with their HCL [0].
