> My CI of choice is [Concourse](https://concourse-ci.org/) which describes itself as "a continuous thing-doer". While it has a bit of a learning curve, I appreciate its declarative model for the pipelines and how it versions every single input to ensure reproducible builds as much as it can.
What's the thought process behind using a CI server - which I thought is mainly for builds - for what essentially is a data pipeline?

basically, to do recursive definitions, you have to lambda encode your data types, work with them like that, and then finally "reify" them with, like, a concrete list type at the end, which means that all those lambdas evaluate away and you're just left with list data. This is neat and intresting and worthy of learning, but would be wildly overly-complicated for most eng teams I think.
After hitting this point in the search, I decided to go another route: https://github.com/rhysd/actionlint
and this project solved my needs such that I couldn't justify spending more time on it any longer.
