    I do know about dhall, but it's mostly Nix with a slightly different syntax, but without all the package and system configuration infrastructure. Its single advantage compared to Nix is that its sources are standalone (don't depend on the infrastructure). I don't think there is much of a use-case for dhall, as I can generate JSON/INI/whatev configuration with Nix as well, with the large benefit of its ecosystem.
