k8s could provide a strongly-typed DSL, like cdk8s+ it's okay to be declarative (the foundation layer), but people usually think in terms of operations (deploy this, install that, upgrade this, assign some vhost, filter that, etc.) and even for the declarative stuff, a builder pattern works well, it can be super convenient, sufficient terse, and typed, and easily composed (and assembled via normál languages, not templates) ... well. anyway. maybe by the time k8s2 rolls around Go will have at least normal error handling.
