I&#x27;m sorry, I seem to be missing your point.<p><pre><code>   [configuration files] lack expressiveness. 
   They are hard to make generic and lend themselves 
   to repetition and fragility
</code></pre>
That&#x27;s exactly what I would say about an imperative scheme, also from experience.<p><pre><code>   I&#x27;d say that composition wins over configuration
</code></pre>
That too, makes not sense to me.
