Everything dhall advertises itself as useful for is basically as a replacement for situations where YAML has been abused or where the separation of concerns between code and config was improperly cut (this is largely how YAML files get to be mind numbingly repetitive). It does this by creating something not quite as powerful as a real programming language (sometimes a feature; probably not here though) while still complicated enough to effectively be unreadable to an average Joe.
