The CSS like IaC language idea was not what I was expecting. It seems ok, but I was hoping for something deeper. What I mean is that I have always felt like there is tension or a mismatch between IaC and the underlying services in a more general sense. I’ve used CDK, Pulumi, Terraform, and CloudFormation and you can argue the merits of each. But they all kind of suck in the sense that you are programming a machine that was not really designed to be programmed. Sure AWS and all the rest have APIs to call and IaC is a decent abstraction over those APIs, but imagine if instead they exposed some lower level interface designed to execute IaC programs natively. I feel like that is the ultimate path to IaC that feels like actual programming.

I took it as a clumsy (yet somehow descriptive) analogy.
