    The author is actually fine with CDK, since it uses an actual programming language. That’s the point of the article.

    By the way, on a personal note, Terraform is still bad to my eyes since their license change.

      The author looks a bit uninformed

      My sincere hope is that either Terraform or the OpenTF folks decide to invest in the CDK model.

      because such a model is already here and it’s cdktf. That’s my point.

      The rest of the article looks like a rant about the need of making choices and learning new stuff, which is meh at least

        The author seems fully aware of the existence CDKTF, and by invest i think he means that they should privilege it instead of HCL. The point is that if you learn Python, it is reusable somewhere else. If you learn HCL, you learned a vendor language, it is only used in Terraform.

          yeah well duh, I did catch the point, it’s pretty understandable. But that’s a silly point, there is plenty of ignorant nerds already, no real need for ignorant lazy nerds
