Configuration is complex if you use it for complex things. That's just one way of designing software, it's not necessary to make software so extremely configurable that you need a DSL to configure it. Even if you really feel you need that level of configurability, then the software could be designed as a library instead and users could consume it with whatever language they prefer (where bindings are available). That would basically be the same amount of complexity as a configuration DSL, except you could use all your standard project management tooling to manage it.
