    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
