There's a ton of discussion of alternative ideas as comments. Many look amazing.
But I keep wondering how many would be useful in giving us the modularity to make something like the shareable charts Helm has. That bitnami and others have these massive troves of charts is such a superpower for Kubernetes.
We all seem to agree it's not the string templating that's excellent, but figuring out how to package & make modular the templates/generators, and how to manage the outputs of the generators: that's "the rest of the owl" that tools such as Kustomzie and languages such as Dhall and starlark don't really buy us.
There is MetaController, which seems like some way to operationalize running generators and managing outputs. But I'm not sure what good examples there are of its use and specifically what examples are intended for distribution alike Helm Charts sometimes are.
