Jsonnet has been around for a while, but it looks like stale. Its stdlib is limited and nonstandard and the whole lazy evaluation is something new developers struggle with. I've been using it at work for 2 years and it's sad that it hasn't moved much. I think it lost a huge opportunity if it had more active and more open for innovation development. I'm sorry to say that, but the lead is busy with stuff and is highly opinionated. Also, Jsonnet is slow. We have a few hundred Jsonnet templates and it takes a very long time to compile, which is a pity given it's written in C (now being slowly and painfully rewritten in Go for whatever reasons).
