Terraform was built using CloudFormation as the inspiration, but development became stale quickly and, at the same time, CloudFormation introduced some unique features. Given Lambda and Custom Resources, you can manage foreign to AWS resources now, and CloudFormation does not run on a single machine, but on multiple ones, I will speculate, using Simple Workflow Service. So, I pick CloudFormation as a reliable serverless service; I generate the JSON using troposphere, and I'm more than happy - HCL, which pretty much nobody outside of HashiCorp uses, can't beat Python! I am also not sure how viable HashiCorp is as their business model is strange and the sudden death of Vagrant should be a lesson learned!
