I completely agree with this:

It exchanges one form of duplication for another, not eliminates it.

The real "problem" is that textual code is generally one-dimensional in nature, but we are interweaving two dimensions of option combos. It's allegedly a limit inherent to textual code, regardless of paradigm used to write the code.

I'm currently thinking of language with "code" laying in database of sort, and text is just a view of real data. Of course, there would be some text serialization, but it wouldn't be the "true way" for programming it...
