Top 4 Rust configuration-language Projects

  • nickel

    Better configuration for less

    • Project mention: Nix – A One Pager | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-06

    So, its key features are:

    1. domain-specific: designed for conveniently creating and composing derivations. This reason alone already justifies a new language, or an embedded domain-specific language (such as the Guile/Scheme for guix), or a mix of both (Starlark, the build language of Bazel embedded in a restricted Python-variant).

    2. purely functional: this ties well into the philosophical backing of Nix the package manager, which aims to be purely functional, also known as hermeticity in other build systems (Bazel).

    3. lazily evaluated: similar to other build systems (including Bazel), so that you can build only what you need on demand.

    4. dynamically typed: this one is controversial. Being dynamically typed—in other words, not developing a type system—gets Nix out of the door first. But users often complain about the lack of proper types and modularity. There are experiments to address this, such as Nickel (https://github.com/tweag/nickel).

    It is understandable that a one-pager may not have space for the whys.
