    The amount of config.jsons I’ve had to mess with…

    Yeah, json is not a good config format. As much as xml is not. Please use something like YAML or TOML.

      I wish more things used Nickel or Dhall for config. I don’t know why I wouldn’t want editor support for type information or the ability to make functions in my non-Turing-complete config to eliminate boilerplate on my end.
