True. But isn't this also accomplished when pairing JSON with JSON Schema?

The schema applies to the generated values, but what’s the equivalent of a schema for a programming language? Types.
Jsonnet does not have a way to validate its functions without running them first.

I clearly get that, but many IDEs use the schema to help you produce valid JSON.

Why are you implying that kccqzy thinks Dhall is better than Jsonnet or Starlark?

A new project should be better than the old ones. Otherwise, what's the point?
