Apple’s open source “embeddable configuration language,” Pkl, released Feb. 1, aims to facilitate “small to large, simple to complex, ad-hoc to repetitive configuration tasks.” Pkl supports JSON, XML, and YAML property lists at launch to produce static configuration files; language support is available for Java, Kotlin, Swift, and Go.
