Is "rule of least power" why I'm stuck writing yaml that generates yaml for my kunernetes deployments?
I think it's perfectly sensible to have a general-purpose programming language in the frontend.

Of course, when ingy and I worked together on https://p3rl.org/JSONY to provide something more config-file-like for systems configuration, the developers at the shop that I first got an after action report from ... went "ooh! this is so much simpler than YAML!" ... and promptly invented turing complete JSONY.
My next attempt at a configuration system is going to be turing complete out of the box so I can actually design it for that.
