This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Dhall is a statically typed total functional programming language specialized for configuration files^[4] (i.e. a configuration language, comparable in scope to Jsonnet, CUE, Starlark or Nickel^[5]), focusing on maintainability and safety. It is named after a character from the video game Planescape: Torment.^[4] The first compiler and language bindings for Dhall were implemented in Haskell and the Haskell implementation is kept up to date with the language standard. Implementations of Dhall, of varying degree of completeness, exist in several other languages.^[6]
