I couldn't agree more. Every time I have to do a for-each loop in some templating language instead of just using a normal programming language I want to shoot it into the sun. Templated yaml is my current pain point. Why not build data structures in a normal programming language and then write the result to yaml. It feels like a lesson we learnt after templated XML 20 years ago that we keep forgetting.
