HCL isn't even a language. It's a tool to create languages. From the official docs: > HCL is a toolkit for creating structured configuration languages that are both human- and machine-friendly, for use with command-line tools.

I wanted to adopt HCL for my own project at some point, but then I realized it's not that easy because it isn't a language you can just use.
