Sudo verifies the configuration using a regular language. It doesn't
mean you can't shoot yourself in the foot, but it makes it pretty damn
hard. JavaScript on the other hand.. a logic bug or error in the code
might bork the entire system and since it's turing complete it's
impossible to test for this condition before it occurs. Which is why
sudo was designed the way it was.
