You can compile your general purpose language DSL to json and then I think this isn’t too much of a problem. A bigger issue imo is packaging. General purpose languages aren’t typed well-designed for producing single, understandable standalone files like config languages are. Like I think a simple config DSL in TypeScript could potentially be a perfect way to solve this problem, except that no one wants to lug around a package.json, package-lock.json, and node_modules directory just to write a bit of config. Yet the ability to bring in npm modules—especially those containing relevant types—is where a lot of the attraction of using TypeScript comes from.
