  Description     : Interpreter for the Starlark configuration language

Starlark is a dialect of Python intended for use as a configuration language.
Like Python, it is an untyped dynamic language with high-level data types,
first-class functions with lexical scope, and garbage collection. Unlike
CPython, independent Starlark threads execute in parallel, so Starlark
workloads scale well on parallel machines. Starlark is a small and simple
language with a familiar and highly readable syntax. You can use it as an
expressive notation for structured data, defining functions to eliminate
repetition, or you can use it to add scripting capabilities to an existing
application.

A Starlark interpreter is typically embedded within a larger application, and
the application may define additional domain-specific functions and data types
beyond those provided by the core language

This library is a dependency of delve (github.com/go-delve/delve, ITP in
#932835). If possible I'd like this package to be co-mantained/sponsored by the
Go Team.
