    The approach of using general programming languages instead of YAML for CI/CD is refreshing. I've seen too many teams struggle with YAML's complexity and limitations in complex pipelines. Being able to write actual code with proper IDE support, testing, and debugging is a game-changer. The SDK approach is smart too - makes it extensible across languages. Have you considered integration with GitHub Actions beyond the existing ones? That would significantly expand the user base.

      The first section in the introduction describes a YAML file. Bait and switch?

    Hi! Dsci tool author here. Thanks for attention .

    1. The post is written by me, not generated by AI

    2. It’s better to browse documentation from http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/doc/README that way all links should work , sorry for confusion

    3. Adding GH action integration should be easy , added this to my todo list

    4. Yes on the top pipeline structure there is a bit of yaml - it’s only required to reference linear list of jobs - jobs themselves are written in general programming languages . Probably in the simplest form I can even drop this first level yaml … will see , but imho I bit of yaml to structure out the list of jobs is ok, it’s not ok to embed into it action code, shell scripts , etc - to have nightmare of code to maintain and extend … the very idea that dsci is about

    5. For people curious to play with there is forgejo public instance already set with dsci - http://deadsimpleci.sparrowhub.io/doc/demo

      Links to Forgejo and CI are broken in the README. I wanted to fix them, but I'm not even sure where the [~ci] link should lead.

        All links are fixed now
