Yes, thank for pointing that out :). I think I actually tried it at one
point, but it was way to immature at the time... must have slipped my
mind since then.
IIRC my major problem at the time I tried it, it was also *really* slow.
I mean "minutes" rather than "seconds" slow.
I think that may have been due to performance problems in the Haskell
implementation of Dhall, so hopefully it's not an issue these days.
Yes, it was due to performance problems with Dhall itself. This project actually helped act as a benchmark for us to improve Dhall. I think things should be much better now. I have unfortunately all-but-abandoned the project because there are no users, including myself. But it's still there and I think there's still a lot of useful work there.
