A Go implementation of the Skylark (now Starlark) interpreter, a small dialect of Python designed as an embeddable configuration language. This repository has moved to go.starlark.net and is kept only as a historical home.
Use cases
- embed a python-like scripting language in a go application
- evaluate starlark configuration files
- write build file logic like bazel build files
- add a safe sandboxed scripting language to my tool
- use structured data notation with functions instead of json or yaml
When to choose
- you need a small, deterministic, python-like configuration language embedded in a Go program
- you want parallel-safe evaluation of config scripts across threads
- you are working with Bazel-style BUILD files or Starlark macros
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose programming language - use Python instead
- you want the actively maintained version - use go.starlark.net
- you need full CPython compatibility or third-party Python libraries
