So you don't like using programming languages as config languages, so you:
1. Use a declarative-style format for config, which is fine, I guess;
2. ... and when that inevitably fails, you... use a programming language?
Some people -- not all, but some -- may prefer to skip the first step and go straight for the second option. Particularly if it's a complex thing indeed like a build system and not, y'know, configuring your blog.
