      Pkl is a hell of a lot easier to work with. Compare this pkl code:

      host: String
port: UInt16(this > 1000)

      To the equivalent in json:

      {
  "$schema": "http://example.org/my-project/schema#",
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "host": {
      "type": "string"
    },
    "port": {
      "type": "number",
      "minimum": 1000,
      "exclusiveMinimum": true
    }
  },
  "required": ["host", "port"]
}

      I just learned about Pkl, so take this with a grain of salt. JSON Schema and Pkl seem to have some overlap. But JSON schema is not specifically designed for handling configuration and Pkl supports other formats like YAML.

        JSON schema supports YAML as well, no? That’s because JSON and YAML are both essentially just different syntaxes for writing the same objects right?

            I get where you’re coming from, but JSON Schema still absolutely is the framework that supports YAML files and not the other way around. I’ve been using JSON Schema pretty heavily lately to write schemas using YAML, for validating YAML.

          Possibly. My point is: despite having a common subset Pkl and JSON schema doesn’t seem to be solving the same problems. But, I’m just learning about it, so I may just be wrong.
