Nickel is the universal configuration language. Nickel is
|
|
configuration templating, but done right. Modular, correct
|
|
and concise.
|
|
|
|
Its purpose is to automate the generation of static
|
|
configuration files - think JSON, YAML, XML, or your
|
|
favorite data representation language - that are then fed
|
|
to another system.
|
|
|
|
Nickel's salient traits are:
|
|
|
|
* Composable code: functions are first-class citizens.
|
|
* Composable data: records can be composed through the
|
|
merge operator.
|
|
* Typed, but only when it helps: a gradual type system.
|
|
* Design by contract: contracts act like schemas.
