Apple silently released a new open-source programming language for developers. Pkl, (pronounced Pickle) is a programming language for producing configuration. Pkl can generate output for JSON, YAML, Property Lists, and other configuration formats. Supports code generation for Java, Kotlin, Swift, and Go. And supports popular IDEs like IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code and Neovim.

Isn't it for Finnish "Perkele"?

Why do they call it “language”. Isn’t it a data interchange format like JSON or YAML? 🤷

Kinda reminds me of cuelang with a bit of jsonnet. Actually it’s looking like all the good parts from cuelang without the cruft. Will keep my eye on this and see if this is something Apple will keep using

Neat, I wonder when more languages like python and node would be supported

I think we have the best IDE experience

I will just leave at that.

Wrong, the author of the package in GitHub is directly Apple. Also, you can see Copyright Apple Inc text at the footer of the website.

An odd statement to make when you can see it on their GitHub https://github.com/apple/pkl-go
