Loopt generates the equivalent code for your workflows in any language, then compiles it down to your workflow files. First-party support for Rust, Python, Typescript, and Go, but it's trivial to add a new language. Check it out if you are tired of mangling YAML.

From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
I like the idea.. I often use JavaScript in workflows through (actions/github-script) and Python inside (shell: python) Being able to write the entire workflow in my preferred language sounds really cool :)
I assume you're looked into whether it's possible to generate the yaml at runtime, without committing the generated file to the repo?
