Windows INI format is going to be easier than any of those. You can parse it in a couple lines in a bash script. I personally find it silly to need more than that. YAML, JSON, etc. What are we even doing here, besides trying to make life more difficult? Are we doing configuration or are we doing plugins and calling it configuration? We'd all be better off if we just admitted we really want an extension language and went with embedded Lua or Scheme. With Dockerfile and others you have to run a separate lint program, assuming anyone even bothers doing that. At least with a proper language you would have built-in robustness. Most of these configuration formats/DSLs are half-assed and unnecessary anyway.
