What is HCL?
Comparing to yalm and such, I'm assuming it is using a templating tool that presents a "not programming" front? If so, I think I'm 100% in agreement.
It is complicated, I think, because declarative is nice. But the idea that you have to forego all execution to get declarative code is frustrating, in the extreme.

- onei 2y agoHCL is Hashicorp Configuration Language: https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl https://github.com/hashicorp/hcl. It's basically a DSL used by a bunch of Hashicorp products. It's sort of a programming language. Someone I worked with implemented 1 or 2 advent of code exercises with it a couple of years ago, but it's far from a general purpose language.
