But what is Dhall? Ok yes, something that helps you write config files because Kubernetes is a pain. I am not a DevOps person so I can't always empathise with the problems DevOps deals with on a daily basis. That something is written in Haskell for Haskell sake is not something I care about. Not that I dislike Haskell, PostgREST is written in it and that is one of the coolest and most productive things I know about, and it does not ask me to learn Haskell (just a lot of SQL).

How does it compare to something like CUE[1] which uses a lattice algebra to weave config files and code together to manage different configuration environments similar to how some computational-algebra-system use pattern matching and rewrite rules to encode mathematical knowledge.
