We definitely need to flesh out our comparison page a bit.

But, here's some rough thoughts for now:

Nickel, Dhall and KCL are the closest in terms of language design. CUE has a different philosophy (types are values, values are types). Jsonnet is also similar, but lacks the ability to express types.

I think we have the best IDE experience; it's been around for years and has been polished over time. But, we only have IDE-like editing in JetBrains editors for now, at least until we provide an LSP.

One of the things that makes us unique is that we try to target both config generation, and integration into an application. I'm not aware of any other config language that provides codegen for so…
