The official repository for Starlark (formerly Skylark), a deterministic, hermetic dialect of Python designed as a configuration language, originally created for the Bazel build system. It hosts the language specification, feature proposals, and discussions, with implementations maintained elsewhere.
Use cases
- embed a safe scripting language in my application
- write Bazel BUILD files and macros
- use a Python-like configuration language
- evaluate untrusted code safely and deterministically
- add scripting to a build tool
- learn the Starlark language specification
When to choose
- you need a small, deterministic, sandboxed configuration or scripting language
- you work with Bazel or other Starlark-based tools
- you want Python-like syntax without arbitrary side effects
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose programming language with I/O and network access
- you want a full Python runtime or third-party package ecosystem
- you need a ready-to-use interpreter binary rather than a specification
