> It's very error prone to describe a hierarchy of versioned software packages and configuration with shell scripts and yaml.

We have a multitude of configuration/markup languages all doing the exact same thing.

We have solved this problem in the 60s: S-Expressions. Should have just used that for everything. Configuration, code, websites, you name it. Infinitely extendable, easy to parse.
