The "directory" linking mode currently implemented doesn't support apps wanting their config in different places depending on the OS, or the user wanting to link a specific config depending on the hostname, etc.
It might be pure over engineering fun to embed a scripting language that the user can use to produce a list of links.
API:
fling config
create # create config with type skeletons
eval # eval the config and print list of links
link
unlink Things I want from the scripting language:
- a pure go library
- easy FFI
- sandboxed
- IDE support
I think GoJa with JSDoc comments + VS Code satisfy these, or perhaps Lua with LuaLSP type hints, or perhaps Typescript with whatever Logdy does
I also need to embed the version in the config so I can print a migration guide link if the API fling expects changes
