Declarative Language Syntax #246

Open erikh opened 7 years ago

erikh commented 7 years ago

Now that we've separated the execution context and language evaluator, we can support multiple languages without having to implement all the builder logic again.

What I'd like to introduce is a YAML-alike declarative syntax. This would work similarly to Ansible and of course would assume the same API as the mruby implementation.

Rationale: many have complained about the use of ruby in the builder, discarding the features box supports. This gives those people an alternative.
