[Haskell-cafe] [ANN] etc-0.0.0 Declarative configuration spec for Haskell projects

[Yuji Yamamoto]

Awesome!
This may be the one I've wanted for a long time.
As you I've often felt it's very tedious to manage the source of
configurations (from the file? CLI argument? etc.).

I'm going to read it in detail later, but I have one question after the
first look:
Why is it configured in YAML? When I tried to make a similar library, I
thought it was a monadic DSL in Haskell that matches the need best.
I'm interested in the reason!

Thanks for the interesting library!

> * Provides an API for gathering values from multiple sources (files,

> them into a single configuration map
>
> * Gives a sane precedence over sources of the configuration value sources
>
> * Provides inspection utilities to understand why the configuration is the

>
> * Provides an API that abstracts away the source of configuration values

> libraries understand
>
> * Supports both configuration files in JSON or YAML (when cabal flags are
> used)
>
> * Dynamically generates CLI inputs from spec configuration file
