Thanks so much!

> Pulumi only really cares that the programming language generates a declarative spec that can be used to compare with your infrastructure. It's the best of both worlds.

Fully agree! I've called this approach "imperatively generating declarations".

Things might get complicated, though, if you try to nest this approach. E.g. if you imperatively generate the structure of your deployment pipeline, which in turn, contains imperative code to generate your infrastructure spec. :) Or something like that[0].

But that's probably just the nature of the problem.

[0]: I can't come up with a fully realistic scenario right now because it's late. Maybe tomorrow!
