I'm a python developer and Emacs user with a hobby interest in statistics. I also like learning about functional programming, still ain't got it though!
And for testing in general it will almost always default to testing the code instead of testing the implementation, you need to give a ton of context to get useful tests. I'd prefer it doesn't generate code at all in those cases.

I haven't and don't plan to unless it becomes more popular, can't justify the time investment. For the schema problem, I parse my configuration into valid Python objects and also apply custom logic when needed, the end result can be a request to an API or another data file with sane defaults.

I'll be honest I don't really see how that setup with now another language thrown into the mix is better than plain data via YAML/JSON and Python.

Trust me I know, I need to write Jinja templates for Ansible and GH actions for other people. My go-to right now is to add CI/CD for the templates where I render them and run the rendered operations (when possible). Not amazing but catches a lot of issues that end-users would face.

Nowadays I think using YAML is fine, just quote things. Use Python and restrict yourself to a sensible set of features, when you need more power. I can't bother with learning another config language tbh.

How does that work when you have a large amount of nesting in components? Do you usually work from the leaf component calling its parent or the parent calling all the children?
