@pocmatos is there a feature request to the github folks for yaml anchors that we could link to from a comment on the yaml?
I’m mostly lurking here, but re #lang ci: YAML is a superset of JSON, and I’ve been generating JSON from Racket for some uses of YAML, like Conda environment files. There is also https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/yaml, but something was broken when I tried it.
There’s a github representative on the thread so it’s legit.
@philip.mcgrath do you have any library to ease generation of yaml, besides the one you mentioned?
@pocmatos No library other than (require json), though I’ve thought about making one. But using json also means no dependencies beyond minimal Racket. I don’t remember what I did with my code to generate CI recipes, but here’s an example of what I do, if it’s useful: • The declarations that would otherwise be in an environment.yml file: https://bitbucket.org/digitalricoeur/pydrnlp/src/master/py/environment.rkt • The output code: https://bitbucket.org/digitalricoeur/pydrnlp/src/ccb195273ce1fe45726894a2200c92b163eeed40/support/conda.rkt#lines-124 • The hand-written environment.yml file this replaced: https://bitbucket.org/digitalricoeur/pydrnlp/commits/c87ecc3a95a01024e8a14d8721c7c653d3ad1841#chg-py/environment.yml • The generated environment.yml (from my local computer): # generated by raco setup from environment.rkt
