- beart 5mo agoThey work wonderfully until you need to do anything more advanced than a key-value store.
- skydhash 5mo agoMy belief is that anything that requires more than that are hiding the fact that what they truly need is a DSL. Instead they force you to write AST (ansible, github actions, docker compose,…)
