I have been using ksonnet but that is now officially dead. Working with jsonnet seemed unnecessarily painful when coming from coding typescript. This information is quite timely and welcome, I'll look further at the ts example.

We have ksonnet expats on the team (we're all in cloud city -- Seattle), and I've been keeping an eye on that project myself, since I think it got a lot of things right and frankly many of the ideas for Pulumi were inspired by early chats with the Heptio team. But, as you say, why create a new language when an existing one will do -- that was our original stance and it's working great in practice.

Joe Beda will be doing a deep dive on Pulumi on the TGIK videocast tomorrow, so it's a timely opportunity to check it out: https://twitter.com/jbeda/status/1092963296565587969

I do think this is more like what we should be doing, but as dismayed to see Pulumi’s free tier get sunsetted
