You can open source anything, really. This is just not useful in an ecosystem of Apple-only bullshit. Who cares if it's open?
Just looks like YAML plus JSON to me. What's the big deal?
Is this too much voodoo for the next 20 years? Probably yes!
I wonder if this language has any other purpose other than Apple to have more control over how the applications are written for their platforms
Huh? No. This is a really simple tool - you type text into a file, and save that file on your disk. Other things read the file. Thee's no "control" anywhere to be seen.
Apparently Apple has been using Pkl internally for years, and they've decided to do the world a favour by making it publicly available... probably because they want to use it for public projects too, instead of just their internal ones.
I doubt Apple open sourced it to the world as a "favour".
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
