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 :)
Thanks! It's definitely way overdue, and something Github should have supported much earlier.
I assume you're looked into whether it's possible to generate the yaml at runtime, without committing the generated file to the repo?
Yes indeed, but it's not possible on Github, as Github expects the workflows to exist in .github/.
GitHub itself has support for it through dynamic workflows, but us mortal humans are not allowed to create those.
