Troubleshooting

This error

java.lang.String cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn

Is most likely an error in the template. It happens when you try to use a function it cannot resolve.

Use Cases

Configuration file management
Documentation generation
Report creation
Data transformation
Infrastructure as Code (e.g. Terraform/OpenTofu configurations)
