I also have to use Terraform and I try to avoid looking at it as much as possible. Hashicorp HCL is incredibly bad (not to use stronger words). I am trying to use an alternative like Pulumi whenever possible, but thankfully there is some hope with cdktf, since Terraform is today effectively technical debt. I can't see how anyone thought that HCL, a terrible language to use in any aspect, was a better choice than a general purpose language like python or js. Every one in our infra org utterly despises HCL. The workflow or Terraform is also very poor, it promotes bad practices and does not offer decent guarantees. I know I sound harsh, but I hope it is received as constructive criticism
