Íslenskur? :D

IMO using string templating for creating structured data in a white-space sensitive configuration language always ends with pain and cursing beyond the most basic application manifests. I'm not saying Terraform or HCL is necessarily the solution either but it certainly wouldn't be Helm in my book.

It's a shame language like CUE or nickel didn't take off for this.

In practice, it simply hasn't mattered all that much.

I also somewhat wish that k8s was programmed with something like the CDK where I could get a nice understandable compiler error about what went wrong and why. But for the most part I'm spending very little time writing helm charts and a lot more time writing my applications. A tweak here or there to the chart has to happen, but that's relatively minor and easy to accomplish.

Sorry, I unfortunately don't speak Icelandic despite the name. Maybe one day.
