๐ Integration with Kotoba
This Jsonnet implementation is integrated into the broader Kotoba ecosystem:
- Used for configuration parsing (
.kotoba
files) - Powers the frontend framework's component definitions
- Enables deployment configuration templating
- Provides runtime configuration evaluation
โก Performance
- Zero-copy evaluation where possible
- Efficient AST representation with Box for recursive types
- Lazy evaluation for optimal performance
- Memory-efficient standard library implementations
