Right, and it's not like it's ground breaking thinking here. It's just a matter of some personal restraint on your part to say, "No, I will not turn python into an interpreter for some disgusting yaml-based language."
Everyone agrees we hate this, until one day it's us who is dreaming it up, and we just can't resist! There should be no concept of "flow of execution", except for maybe expansion of previously declared variables just so you can do something like concatenating two lines together. Otherwise, the lack of logical operations will make even that unnecessary.

This is why we get YAML based languages that edge towards turing completeness with conditionals and loops and ugly templating hacks. Mostly people get it wrong. I got it wrong several times when creating two earlier versions of that framework.
