Dear Haskellers, and maybe more generally programming language enthusiasts, I am happy to announce the 2nd Workshop on Configuration Languages, co-located at SPLASH 23, and focused on the quite peculiar (and thus, exciting!) space of designing configuration languages, and more general configuration and infrastructure management.
