You're partially kidding but you're 100% right.
Someone in another thread mentioned using some LISP or LISP-like language to solve this problem.
Would something like TOML make things better here?
What would have been the solution?

TBH, I have no experience with it. But, it sounds like if you need a configuration language with programmatic features, it would be more suited to the job than a general purpose programming language.
Mature libraries with plenty of experience deploying into production.
Plus for small enough stuff, like configuration files, one can just plug XPATH as well, making the search for items even easier.
