I like this article a lot -- I've found that the most useable WMs for me are Xmonad and awesomewm and dwm, which are all configured in the programming language. (WMs are like, the #1 thing I do a lot of configuring with on my computer. I'm real cool like that)
It also makes me think of tight coupling, like with my website currently I have a sort of interpolated lightweight markup and shell thing that lets me program my posts as I write them. Which also keeps everything small and tight and I know what's going on, at least. I was using Hakyll, which was great, but there'd be things I'd want to do and then I'd have to figure out the DSL, Haskell type system, Hakyll's logic, etc. etc. and it was frustrating.
The article doesn't clearly explain when to use a configuration file versus a scripting language. Either one could be done well or badly. It also focuses excessively on syntax.
