What you are referring to is the OpenStreetMap Carto style. They have recently switched to using flex, see the config.

It is similar to generic.lua but more complicated, partially due to historic baggage that we kept for compatibility.

There is no really good generic style. If there were, we'd just all use that and didn't need all these configurations. Generally I would recommend to start with something simple, find its limits and iterate from there.
