HCL being so restricted is the reason why many teams feel the need to implement a layer on top of it. Once you’re working with HCL templated via Gomplate or what have you, and a pipeline which processes the code base and then spits out the resultant HCL as an artifact to be used by a subsequent step, you’ll pine for the impenetrable JS or Python code. At least that is code which has a reasonable development workflow associated with it, not a monstrosity held together with duct tape and vulgar hacks.
