Is this distinction really about whether the customisation language is declarative? It seems to me that Dhall has the advantages Brian Grant attributes to "Infrastructure as Data", although it is an executable specification.

I also think “executable” is more important. Our configs are so large and complex that we need to DRY them up. A type system alone is insufficient.
