How does it compare to Nickel (https://github.com/tweag/nickel)?

Nickel looks like something akin to Nix (JSON with functions), whereas August's goal is to allow you to quickly write a snippet that expands to your target document (e.g. via an editor extension) like Emmet. You can think of August like a snippet or shortcut to typing (or editing) a document rather than its own configuration language
