Question: Submit to CNCF #447
Comments
Hi @bvalyou, can you highlight the benefits of submitting Pkl to the CNCF? AFAIU, Helm integration should be doable without it, if that's the main concern? |
Hi @madrob, thanks for the quick response! I guess the helm reference wasn't too useful. They're linked in my head because helm is a CNCF graduate project. The main benefit is that the CNCF has a lot of clout in the Kubernetes community. If Pkl were a CNCF incubator project it would likely accelerate adoption and add to the pool of potential contributors. My self-interested reason for asking is that it would allay some concerns within my organization about the long-term future of Pkl as a stable tool for managing k8s configurations. Apple is also a Platinum CNCF member. There are probably some downsides as well - e.g. potential overhead from CNCF governance. |
Apple uses pkl internally so I don't think it's about to disappear and even if it did it's open source now. If you check the history the first commit was made in 2016. commit ecad035dcaf8f49eba08bf816eba76bd581c87d3

Initial commit I've looked at multiple alternatives and pkl is by far the one that I've had the easiest time with. It's a significant step forward in this domain, the combination of ease of use, types, type aliases, late binding, defaults for maps etc, functions, classes, IDE Support and a host of other features make it a joy to use. I've only been playing with it for a month and I'm still finding better ways to do things than anything I've previously used. It's a well designed tool and I think adoption is going to fast and widespread. |
Are there any plans to submit Pkl to the CNCF?
