I appreciate what the language is trying to do and simplified configuration that is repeatable / re-usable is the goal.

However I can’t help but wonder why systems don’t simply start adopting full programming languages once they hit a certain complexity. Having to use another language just to reproduce YAMl or what have you in a repeatable fashion is a symptom of the problem IMO

This is a full programming language! It’s just designed for exactly this goal.

Yes that I realize if I didn’t make it clear.

I am definitely lamenting the fact that SDKs (CDKs?) aren’t already exposed in most common languages as a way to take advantage of the robust features of full programming languages.

They either aren’t at all or they use some hybrid format (terraform etc) or they’re Byzantine in nature or ignore good API conventions
