Comment on Comparison of configuration file languages (2016)parent

Comments

I hope one day people will realize that configuration languages can just be implemented by adding a "--run-total-sandboxed" to their favorite language i.e. a flag that disables while loops and recursion making the language non Turing complete and that runs the program in a sandbox without direct external access.

This would be far better than all random configuration languages out there and far more extensible.
