Skylark in Go: An Interpreter for Skylark, Implemented in Go

Unlike Google's Jsonnet, which doesn't seem to have become very popular, it goes way beyond mere declarative templating, as it's actually a minimal implementation of Python, complete with functions, lambdas, for loops, etc.

The Google documentation for Bazel's BUILD files provides some context:

    The concrete syntax of BUILD files is a subset
    of Python. Originally, the syntax was that of
    Python, but experience showed that users rarely
    used more than a tiny subset of Python's
    features, and when they did, it often resulted
    in complex and fragile BUILD files. In many
    cases, the use of such features was
    unnecessary, and the same result could be
    achieved by using an external program, e.g.
    via a genrule build rule.

    Crucially, programs in the build language are
    unable to perform arbitrary I/O (though many
    users try!). This invariant makes the
    interpretation of BUILD files hermetic, i.e.
    dependent only on a known set of inputs, which
    is essential for ensuring that builds are
    reproducible.
