> Honestly, I think a good configuration library should be more than a spec, it should come with a library that handles parsing/validation

You just described CUELang.

The type system allows to define a schema as well as the data, in the same file, or in 2 separate ones. Then you can call either a cli tool (that works on linux, windows or mac) or use the Go lib (or bind to it).

For compat, cue can import and export to yaml, json and protobuf, as well as validate them.

Isn't Dhall basically the same (=have the same set of features)?

    In the same way python and js are basically the same.

      Exactly. So if I'm going to learn/use one of them, there's no clear winner, really. Both also seem to also have about the same amount of adoption (zero?).
