> Why do we need special configuration languages? Why not just use existing languages? Sure, or you could turn around and ask: Why do we need languages at all? Surely we can express everything with assembly? Or, shouldn’t one language work for all cases? Why not just use C everywhere? And the answer becomes obvious: some languages are better at certain tasks than others! Then, a “configuration language” is just going to be a programming language that is best suited to generating configuration. The same way that C or Rust have different use cases than C# and Java.
