An Introduction to Apple Pkl: A New Open-Source Configuration Language

[narmidm]

Hi everyone,

I wrote an article about Apple Pkl, a new open source configuration language developed by Apple. In this article, I explain what Pkl is, why it is useful, and how it compares to other configuration languages like JSON, YAML, or Property Lists. I also provide some examples of Pkl code and its benefits.

You can read the article here: Apple Pkl: A New Programming Language for Configuration

I would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on Pkl and my article.

Thanks. Any idea why it is named Pkl?

PKL is pronounced as Pickle. I have heard that PKL means Python-Kotlin-Lisp, and I have also heard that it means Programming Konfiguration Language. However, there is nothing in the official documentation about it. Maybe they will tell us in the future. If anyone knows, please let us know. I am also eager to find out 😄
