Confetti: a new configuration language file format

Viewed 26
Confetti is a newly proposed configuration language designed for ease of use, aiming to minimize syntactic overhead while promoting clarity and elegance. It is compared to the Caddyfile syntax, JSON, YAML, and TOML, and is particularly noted for its minimalistic approach. Some users praise its design and usability, whilst others express concerns regarding its untyped nature and the handling of data types like strings, booleans, and numerals. Overall, it has been well-received for its clean aesthetics and potential ergonomics, though it has sparked discussions about its level of opinionation and features compared to existing formats like JSON5 and HCL. Users expressing doubts regarding the enforced quotation of strings highlight potential pitfalls in its usability. The notable aim seems to be simplifying configuration management, providing an inviting alternative to conventional formats by focusing on readability and intuitive use.
