All the logic is executed on the back-end. Front-end is called only for user input and location.

We've been using this syntax for a while and it works well for us internally, but we're soon releasing more appealing tools. Read comments below for more details.

Fair enough; that wasn't clear to me from reading the article.

I still think this is a solution to a non-existent problem. Essentially interfaces solved this type of problem 30 years ago. Today you can implement a set of interfaces and, depending on your language of choice, hot swap / add/ delete them as needed and those can all do exactly what your fancy JSON does but without the proprietary, new syntax and language being introduced.
