DSLs Are a Waste of Time
I hate yaml with a passion. It marginally better than xml for reading (wins huge on comment syntax) and worse for everything else. It makes zero sense we somehow ended up with it as standard configuration serialization format.
Note yaml is not a DSL. It's a tree serialization format! Everything interesting is happening after it is parsed. Extreme examples point to e.g. github actions conditions.
Anyway, back on topic - maybe not prolog for CDK, but still quite interesting: Dhall-kubernetes - https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes

Nyarna: A structured data authoring language in the spirit of LaTeX, implemented in Zig
Dhall provides https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes which is exactly this: statically type-checked kubernetes config generation.

The Dhall Configuration Language
Dhall is my favorite configuration language that I never get around to using.
I manage DNS in Terraform, and since every Terraform provider uses different objects definitions, and every object definition is rather verbose, Dhall would be a way to specify my own DRY types and leave the provider-specific details in one place. Adding new DNS entries and moving several domains between providers would be a matter of changing fewer lines.
Dhall also has Kubernetes bindings:

Although I'm tempted to just stick to Helm here, even though it's less type-safe.

Why helm doesn't use a general purpose programming language for defining resources?
Not Helm directly, but does something like Dhall fit your question? https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes

Dhall configuration language as another way to write manifests for Kubernetes
Have you heard about Dhall? It’s a programming language used for generating configuration files for a variety of purposes. One of them is to replace old and limited formats such as JSON and YAML. It is DRYable, secure, and even suitable for creating K8s manifests. The latter option isn’t something for anyone: you have to learn a new language and deal with its peculiarities, but it might be really helpful when you have tons of YAML configs. I’ve recently made a short intro to Dhall for K8s in this review.

Terraform 1.0 Release
Best thing is Dhall that I am aware of. Same situation, working as a consultant, forced to use broken things.

Write Gitlab CI Pipelines in Python Code
Lets look at a specific example. Take Kubernetes: everything is yaml, with complete schemas, all the way down. From your perspective this is configuration utopia, right? Meanwhile back in reality k8s is the poster child of "yaml hell". From the day it was released, people took one look at it, gave it a giant NOPE and instantly spawned half a dozen templating languages. The most popular of these is helm, which has a terrible, no good, very bad design: full of potential injection attacks from purely textual string substitution, manually specified indentation to embed parameterized blocks, virtually no intermediate validation, no way to validate unused features, etc etc
Compare to dhall which publishes a complete set of dhall-k8s schema mappings which enables you to factor out any design you want down to as few configuration variables as you like, while validating the configuration generators themselves at design time. https://github.com/dhall-lang/dhall-kubernetes#more-modular-...

INTERCAL, YAML, And Other Horrible Programming Languages
The solution I like is Dhall. They even have a Kubernetes solution that will catch a lot of issues at compile-time, before you try to apply it to Kubernetes. At earthly we aren't actually using it though. Our Kubernetes guru found it to be a bit slow but I am hopeful it or something like it will be the future.

OpenTF Announces Fork of Terraform
Marcin here, one of the OpenTF folks
This repo [0] seems to still be licensed under MPL, so there is no need for an immediate action, but if there is a willingness in the community to take it over and improve, I see no reason why we wouldn't do it.

Why is this so dumb?
For example my other issue with simple click through URLs to resource documentation pages, this would be a simple solution if the resource documentation URL formatting was done to a standard with the resource names.

Help with implementing missing LSP functionality in Terraform
As /u/fridgedigga, neither LSP implements renaming. The LSP spec can be found here. I don't know how all of this is wired up. At a minimum, you'll need to add a mapping in service.go and handler. The bulk of work is performed in the handlers.

Workflow for DevOps? (Ansible, Terraform, Kubernets, RHET)
Look at terraform-ls vs terraform-lsp. Both can be used with coc.nvim.

Terraform Assistance (Nvim, Vim, LSP?)
For the LSP, I have never heard of Terraform before but it looks like they have a section on using it with vim/neovim. Not sure if this is already part of what you have tried, but I can't really help more since I have never used it.

VSCode plugin very slow at terraform fmt on save
This worked, thank you! I found all the cli options here for anyone that needs them.

Terraform 1.0 Release
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-ls
These are both fairly limited but you can see every editor (except intellij) uses this under the hood.
I've used them at companies with 300+ terraform repos and have never had much of an issue navigating/understanding TF through Vim.
What are some alternatives?
terraform-lsp - Language Server Protocol for Terraform
terragrunt - Terragrunt is a thin wrapper for Terraform that provides extra tools for working with multiple Terraform modules.
tfenv - Terraform version manager
coc.nvim - Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.
terraform - Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and improve infrastructure. It is a source-available tool that codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.
nvim-lspconfig - Quickstart configs for Nvim LSP
terraform-switcher - A command line tool to switch between different versions of terraform (install with homebrew and more)
starlark - Starlark Language
NUKE - 🏗 The AKEless Build System for C#/.NET
vim-lsp - async language server protocol plugin for vim and neovim
tanka - Flexible, reusable and concise configuration for Kubernetes
pulumi-terraform-bridge - A library allowing providers built with the Terraform Plugin SDK to be bridged into Pulumi.
