Support for pkl
It would be great if this library has support for apples "new" configuration language pkl.
Some info can be found here: https://github.com/apple/pkl/discussions/849
Perhaps we should close this as the aforementioned thread confirmed the hard dependency on the external pkl binary?
What's wrong with having the pkl binary as a dependency? 🤔 Sure not the most elegant solution, but if someone wants to use that 🤷♂️.
If you are against it, also fine for me. However, we might can also keep it until they lift the restriction with the binary? 🤔
While koanf is agnostic to whatever happens in a provider, given that the pkl ecosystem (eg: docs) itself doesn't lend much clarity on how it works, feels a bit off ship a provider that has an external bin dependency.
That said, it's not a big deal. If you'd like to send a PR (which can clearly document that it requires the pkl bin to be installed), then it's fair enough I guess.
Hi @StefMa. Has your familiarity with pkl grown? If yes, do you think a PR is viable?
Hey @knadh, I haven't followed up on this. But since they only provide a binary, I thought it doesn't make sense to move forward (for now).
In meantime, they created this issue (Provide a C library (libpkl) for Pkl). There is also some progress already happening.
I'm not 100% familiar with Go and a C library. But I guess this solution would be better instead of shiping a standalone binary, right?
I found this: https://github.com/apple/pkl-go/pull/149
Haven't looked into the code yet, but might be interesting 🙃
