This has some pretty great ideas within it. A few that stuck out to me in case others don't want to skim the full spec: Start with YAML/JSON/TOML, but then add: - Optionally strict typing and structs - Inheritance - Dynamically computed properties - Functions & object methods, which are really more like computer properties - If/Else conditionals, which are really more like a ternary .. and managed to do it while still making it look like a simple config file. The closest analogue from memory might actually be Terraform. The one thing that had me squinting was the object extension syntax. It looks powerful.. and I understand its value.. but wow that's ends up being eye-full of () {} and [] all in one code bock.
