To me, worrying about config files seems like the ultimate exercise in bikeshedding.

You either need a simple list of items (eg. dependencies) or key/value pairs. Use a text file or yml or json or whatever.

Or you need templating, the use of functions, etc, like dhall provides. But then, why not use the language you're already using for the rest of your project, or a bash script to export some variables?

Might sound like I'm throwing sourness around, but I just don't see the niche for this, except inventing a new thing for the joy of it?
