Those things should all still be used with a dsl iac. They're not bringing anything new to the table in the argument of dsl vs general programming language for infrastructure. Arguably this comment even demonstrates a bit of what I consider one of the biggest problems in the space. It's common for someone who hasn't bought in to dsl based iac tooling to imply dsl based tooling is from a less sophisticated place where modern engineering practices aren't applied, and it's better to grow up and use big-boy tools. It's almost like they've forgotten the dsl based tooling was in fact built by other application developers with intense subject matter expertise in the space.
