The author mentions Jsonnet in the appendix[^1]:
> I never properly evaluated Jsonnet, but probably I should. Superficially it looks like one of the more mature formats, and in many ways it looks similar to RCL. Its has a page comparing itself against other configuration languages.

I should have made it clearer, but I wrote my comment in reaction to his mention that he "never properly evaluated Jsonnet".

Kapitan sounds interesting. It definitely looks difficult to figure out. Even your blog post only gives me a hint, leaving me with lots of questions. I am going to o dig deeper.

In Ruud's case, Jsonnet might have been worth looking at as Hashicorp tools can be configured with json in addition to HCL. But that would have been less fun I guess ;-)
I hope for Ruud it finds its niche, there's quite some competition in this field!
