Nickel lang is such an effort. Id say the syntax is a mix of json and lua and aims for a non-touring complete program. It is still a bit early but it looks promising

No, Nickel is Turing-complete. That's been one of the characteristics intended to distinguish it from most other configuration languages from the start.

See the 'RATIONALE' document: https://github.com/tweag/nickel/blob/378ece30b3e3c0ab488f659...
