+1 on the problem of moving complexity from programming languages to configuration.

One of the main problems here is that programming languages typically have lots of tools to help validate correctness, whereas configuration tools are typically either much less mature or woefully underused.

There is nothing more frustrating in something failing due to a misconfiguration - but you've no idea what the correct value should be.

My helm adventures (a while back now, so maybe better these days):

> You have an error in your config on line 1. Good luck.

Wait did it actually say "Good luck" in the error message? If so that is hilarious
