agreed, but then even some third-party project is too exciting.
My choice is "whatever is available in the standard library" - which used to be INI, JSON or YAML. But with python 3.11 there is also TOML, which is nice...

Interestingly, at least in this list, after JSON/YAML were published in 2001 there's a 10y+ gap until competitors started arriving. Of those, considering only markup languages (so no Dhall/Nickel/etc*), EDN/TOML/JSON5/HJSON were published in early 2010s and all the rest (~10) are published late 10s-now 20s. Author's MAML being close to first in this new wave.
*Honorable mention to Nix, which is also functionally a configuration language, released a decade before those. Feel like recent few years there has been an increase in remaking existent things slightly different and marketing them like new.
