Why Pkl? 🔗

Scala builds can become very complex. It is not uncommon to have many combinations on multiple axis:

• scala version
• platform: JVM/JS/Native
• OS: linux/mac/win

This makes JSON/YAML/XML not so attractive. You eventually have to invent new syntax for loops, conditionals etc.

Pkl makes this easier, it has types, docs, IDE integration etc.
