To be fair NGINX config is not better. An ad-hoc grown soup of syntax without a clear concept to govern it all.

I would prefer a simple JSON file any day. Or some Lispy S-expressions. Or some TOML or well structured XML and XSD even.

NGINX makes you learn another lang only for one tool and for a config, which mostly (always?) does not need anything more than being declarative config.



No JSON, please. You can't have comments. A JSON config would a deal-breaker for me to use a server.
