I'll give a shot at some guiding principals: 1. Do not use yaml. All github action logic should be written in a language that compiles to yaml, for example dhall ( https://dhall-lang.org/ ). Yaml is an awful language for

This also means the function might not do what you want, i.e. if it takes a `&mut T` argument, that argument can't actually be mutated, and anything that relies on interior mutability, even if it's not a mut argument, also won
