Yaml is on the way out, Cuelang will replace it where it's used for infra. It's quite easy to start by validating yaml and then you quickly realize how awesome having your config in a well thought-out language is!
I thought you were trolling with some called Cuelang but is actually a thing.
Yaml will still be used in 100 years, k8s is yaml based...
Yes but YOU won't be writing or seeing yaml, Cue will output the yaml and run kubectl (I'm already doing this to great relief)
Which is step 2 of my Enterprise adoption strategy. Step 1 is starting with validation, step 3 and beyond is where the real fun starts!
Hope that works for you ! Your statement above has nothing to do with yaml being on the way out...
well, then perhaps the growing frustration with a configuration language where meaning depends on invisible chars is an argument. And then what helm and others are doing text interpolating and add helpers for managing indentation.
There are many experiments into alternatives happening right now, so I do believe yaml's days are numbered. I'm actively replacing it where ever I encounter it with a far superior alternative. Cue is far more than a configuration language however, worth the time to learn and adopt at this point.
This isn’t a competition, they are tools. Ansible is widely used and will continue to be so for a long long time. Its foundations - ssh, python and yaml are also in for the long run to manage infrastructure...
