What about pandoc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandoc

Author is not a "dev" nor a self-proclaimed "engineer". He has no computer science, maths, EE or physics degrees listed on his CV. He does list several languages. None are computer languages. He suggests the programs he has written may be "structured procrastination".

I think Dhall looks interesting. Like MacFarlane, I am free to choose any language I find satisfying for procrastination purposes.
