      Pkl is a hell of a lot easier to work with. Compare this pkl code:

      host: String
      port: UInt16(this > 1000)
      

      To the equivalent in json:

      {
        "$schema": "http://example.org/my-project/schema#",
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "host": {
            "type": "string"
          },
          "port": {
            "type": "number",
            "minimum": 1000,
            "exclusiveMinimum": true
          }
        },
        "required": ["host", "port"]
      }

      I just learned about Pkl, so take this with a grain of salt. JSON Schema and Pkl seem to have some overlap. But JSON schema is not specifically designed for handling configuration and Pkl supports other formats like YAML.
