Couldn’t agree more! In fact, it doesn’t matter if it’s hard to parse. Because that’s what computers are good for. What a human does is write and read configs. Whatever we can do to make that easier we should do.
Using a known programming language, rather than a dedicated confit language, means the user is already familiar with the language and uses it day to day. That’s easy. What’s hard is learning a totally separate language with its own rules, syntax, tool chain, and capabilities.
