> Code is not a configuration format... Sorry, Lisp says otherwise. It's clear I'm not going to modify your view of the world here, and you certainly are not going to modify mine, so I don't think there is any point in continuing this conversation.

Lisp is a special case, iirc, they think about it more as code is data. What if we only consider the languages most used with Pulumi? Now let's consider another idea... can Pulumi prevent me from making arbitrary calls to an API or database to fill in the "declarative code"? Honestly, reading the pulumi website ought to be enough to realize they think of it as programming and not something "declarative". They don't even use the word, because they aren't. They call it programming, programs, and code in many places, so they are positioning themselves differently from how you are describing them.
