Rust does actually have an excellent game engine crate, called tetra. It's heavily MonoGame/XNA inspired and is at a good stable point (in my opinion). I typically work more in the area of systems administration and automation, so

Thanks for the article! jhall is definitely closer to what is described there than it is to a language like dhall - it provides a convenience wrapper around basic language features to programmatically generate configuration.

Not in the slightest! jhall isn't a custom language, it loads in pure JS and spits out JSON or YAML. If the node interpreter can run it then it's fair game as far as jhall is concerned. Since Typescript compiles down to CJS you ca

That is a tradeoff that you make using CJS, yes. You could write your config in typescript and then compile that down to CJS before usage, but admittedly that does add another step in the build process. I am looking into enabling TypeScript
