So turn the general purpose language into a non-general purpose language by creating a compiler for a subset of it. That might be what we'd call a configuration language then since it's no longer actually the original language (in full). Like JSON and others.


It’s not really a subset that I’m talking about—just a DSL that outputs JSON for easy portability. You could still use all the language’s features.
