Dhall Configuration Language

There are underpowered languages / tools, that can only solve a problem for which they are intended poorly. But not all limited tools are like that. Say, eBPF is prominently not Turing-complete, which allows to guarantee that a eBPF program terminates, and even how soon. Still eBPF is hugely useful in its area. Or, say, regular expressions are limited to regular languages; in particular, they famously [1] cannot process recursive structures, like trees. Still tools like grep / ag / rg are mightily useful. Yes, I agree that YAML is underpowered for proper k8s configuration! But it's also <i>too</i> powerful for its own good in other aspects [2]. I wish Google used Dhall [3] or their own purely functional config language (FCL? I already forgot the name) instead of YAML; sadly, they did not.
