  The home of the CUE language! Validate and define text-based and dynamic configuration

  

As has come up in this thread already, any discussion of typed config languages nowadays that doesn't mention Cue (https://cuelang.org/) seems incomplete. They really seem to be tackling the problem in a thorough way. I hope it catches on.

For anyone who knows more about Cue: right now you can go from Cue->yaml to integrate with existing systems, but I suppose eventually the goal would be to have direct support in libraries like Serde?

  The Final Form of configuration files

Funny enough, I've implemented a config language that fits exactly this bill https://github.com/gilbert/zaml

An example (also see it in the online editor[0]):

  Type-safe YAML parser and validator.

I like the approach of strictyaml. A parser that concentrates on a restricted subset of yaml and allows to use a schema to have a type safe validator.

  Gura configuration language

  

If we're on the topic of config languages, I'd like to plug Gura (https://github.com/gura-conf/gura). It's not too well-known, but it probably has the best design I've seen, and seems to have a good coverage of languages with an available library.

  configuration library for JVM languages using HOCON files

  

YAML allows comments, I'll give it that. But what I really want is splitting configuration into multiple files that can be imported to others. And substitutions. Basically HOCON known on the JVM as https://github.com/lightbend/config
