And also because terraform is also working on enabling other languages on top of it: https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/cdk-for-terraform-enabling-py...
> Today, we are pleased to announce the community preview of the Cloud Development Kit for HashiCorp Terraform which allows users to define infrastructure using TypeScript and Python while leveraging the hundreds of providers and thousands of module definitions provided by Terraform and the Terraform ecosystem.
> CDK for Terraform is in alpha and is in the early stages of development. This project is another way to interface with Terraform using languages like TypeScript and Python. We are working to support additional languages such as JavaScript, Java, and C#. In addition to language support, we plan on expanding the scope of CDK for Terraform project to support other first-class commands to provide a user experience similar to the AWS CDK.
This has to be a shot across the bow at pulumi, glad Pulumi innovated and took this direction (maybe CDK was on the roadmap at Hashicorp, not sure) and seemingly spurred TF taking the turn as well.
