json lacks comments, inis lack good nesting, pkl and nix adding computing to a config without differentiation of execution sections and config makes it insta-retarted, and also nix no comma lists make my skin crawl

maybe I'm too much an old-head but if we're not doing xml because it sucks or json because we don't wanna, and we fucking INSIST on shoving compute in a config or computing our configs, I wish we went more general, bit the bullet on meta-generation as a thing we do, and we'd just redid T4 text templates again but without the headers (or only sane default headers), better escape sequences, and we put it on the parser intelligently JIT compile at runtime with caching rather than demanding pre-compilation.
