    You can use if instead of the ugly count hack in HCL… 🤷‍♂️

        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

                Yeah we are better served with pedantic nerds that thinks they know IaC better than some top engineer at an IaC vendor 🤷
