Jsonnet is more of a templating language whereas Skylark is really arbitrary computation used to build data structures and express policy or behavior. Sorry if that's vague. Bazel is (unsurprisingly) a good example of Skylark: a build dependency graph consists of thousands of nodes, and for each node, Bazel executes, in parallel, a Skylark function to figure out what compile commands need to be executed for it. Fun fact: Dave (who developed Jsonnet) works down the corridor. There are at least three configuration languages developed from this one room. If nothing else it suggests we need smaller offices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
