I'm surprised the author didn't mention Suckless tools https://tools.suckless.org/ https://tools.suckless.org/. Their philosophy is to use minimal software and all configuration is done in a single programming language file. But it's also written in C which means you need to recompile the app to change config values. They typically provide a bunch of patch files that you can optionally bake into your custom binary, or you can write your own modifications too.

> you need to recompile the app to change config values. This works for a user using one of the suckless tools like dwm or surf. However, for server side applications there maybe multiple configurations and it may not be feasible to compile the whole app for every environment or deployment.
