Why not perl?

    {
        name => 'MyApp',
        Foo  => 'Bar',
    };

Doesn't seem that much different.

I have a few things where I use perl for the config file.  Plus,
sometimes programmable config files come in handy. ;)

    {
        name => `hostname` =~ /dev/ ? 'TestApp' : 'MyApp',
        Foo  => 'Bar',
    };

Oh the scary things I've done in httpd.conf <perl> sections.
