INTERCAL, YAML, And Other Horrible Programming Languages

1. tanka

   1 27 2,520 9.6 Go

   Flexible, reusable and concise configuration for Kubernetes

   

   Jsonnet has been serving me well. Tanka seems to fix all the remaining issues. It's not the fastest thing out there, but it's honestly easy to debug.

2. Judoscale

   judoscale.com featured

   Save 47% on cloud hosting with autoscaling that just works. Judoscale integrates with Django, FastAPI, Celery, and RQ to make autoscaling easy and reliable. Save big, and say goodbye to request timeouts and backed-up task queues.

   

3. dhall-kubernetes

   2 11 629 2.8 Dhall

   Typecheck, template and modularize your Kubernetes definitions with Dhall

   

   The solution I like is Dhall. They even have a Kubernetes solution that will catch a lot of issues at compile-time, before you try to apply it to Kubernetes. At earthly we aren't actually using it though. Our Kubernetes guru found it to be a bit slow but I am hopeful it or something like it will be the future.

4. toml

   3 49 19,785 2.5 Python

   Tom's Obvious, Minimal Language

   

   In other words, there only few acceptable configuration languages: namely INI and TOML.

5. Pulumi

   4 201 22,825 9.9 Go

   Pulumi - Infrastructure as Code in any programming language 🚀

   

   One thing I like as an alternative to terraform and ansible is pulumi. You can use whatever language you like for your branching and logic.

6. starlark

   5 26 2,614 6.7 Python

   Starlark Language

   

   I looked it up. It does have some restrictions, just not on its turning completeness, which probably doesn't matter anyhow.

7. IntercalScript

   6 11 136 0.0 Brainfuck

   The IntercalScript programming language

   

   INTERCAL got a modern overhaul: https://github.com/Storyyeller/IntercalScript

8. dhall

   7 11 931 7.7 Dhall

   Maintainable configuration files

10. aridity

    8 1 3 7.9 Python

    Discontinued DRY config and template system, easily extensible with Python

    anyway, here's the readme with a little manifesto https://github.com/combatopera/aridity/blob/trunk/README.md

11. pyinfra

    9 33 4,170 9.2 Python

    pyinfra turns Python code into shell commands and runs them on your servers. Execute ad-hoc commands and write declarative operations. Target SSH servers, local machine and Docker containers. Fast and scales from one server to thousands.

    

    I currently taking a good look at pyinfra as an alternative to ansible for this very reason. Might be a little immature yet, IMHO, but it's all python and feels very comfortable.

12. VecStack

    10 1 4 4.1 JavaScript

    A stack-based language for drawing vector graphics

    

    Fun fact, my college intro to programming course was taught in Scheme. Most recently I dug lightly into Forth for the sake of making my own stack based programming language (it's very bad and unpolished, but a fun esolang), and that idea also happens a lot in Forth. It's a good and valuable way to think about programming, regardless of your programming paradigm!

13. css-only-chat

    11 13 6,595 0.0 Ruby

    A truly monstrous async web chat using no JS whatsoever on the frontend

    

    Well behold this beautiful piece of art.

14. stylops

    12 3 0 4.5 JavaScript

    Write JSON as CSS

    

    Sure we can https://github.com/cruel-intentions/stylops#why
