If you’re constantly fighting yaml, consider jsonnet. It’s another project by google and similarly not Turing complete. Works wonderful at generating templates.

Well, actually Jsonnet is Turing complete. Anyway, thanks for the shoutout.

TIL. AFAIK jsonnet can’t do while loops so I assumed it wasn’t Turing complete and I didn’t see a way of writing a non-halting program.

But now I see, since it has recursion, there are tricks to make it go in an infinite loop.

Thanks for the pointer. I read the rationales again in the doc.
