+* Standard configuration processing layer
+
+- Standardize a way to write programs that generate configuration files, so programs can be configured using these programs instead of plain configuration files.
+- For example, GitHub Actions could be written in a declarative way using libraries with pre-defined patterns.
+- Languages such as Starlark, Dhall, Jsonnet are already designed for this purpose.
+- Should have great sandboxing, ensured finite fast runtimes, but also modularization (e.g. using libs)
+- Maybe use WASM in some fashion?
+- Maybe text files with some kind of shebang that describes if the file is Starlark, Dhall or what.
