I see Dhall mentioned in the comments. cue is another great configuration language: https://cuelang.org/

Both of these are actually designed well for dealing with the problem of configuration and it really shows.

I was hoping the article would mention Cue. I find the syntax so much better.

Cue needs to be adoption ready and is getting close. The big one will be the 'cue mod' command, when that lands we should be in good shape. I think v0.4 will be when people start looking hard at Cue, but maybe a later 0.3.x
