There's another advantage to using a high level language like python though - since the "source" is now JSON metadata which is decoupled from the code, I can use that metadata to generate other interesting things. For example, I can use python-docx to generate a Word document, for example (which my company requires for documentation tracking). Or, if the metadata is describing HTTP APIs, I can generate an OpenAPI document which can be fed into Swagger UI[1]. [1] https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/ https://swagger.io/tools/swagger-ui/
