@frankel just because people missed the "declarative idea" of k8s manifests.
#YAML is simple if you just do yaml with it, no anchors, no templates... Just declarations!
And I see the inappropriate will to "DRY", but you must accept some duplications is the way, it's better than dirty and complicated string manipulations
@frankel It's not perfect, but suitable if provider = software editors in your question
I have customers asking for kustomize instead of helm to simplify their workflow. The expectation with kustomize has to be different, though
The number of Ops using post-rendering with helm charts is important, so they use two tools… because helm is not extensible without modification to the chart source.
And we see more and more tools with helm & raw manifests (aka kustomize) available now😇
@frankel@McPringle XML with its 20-50% redundant chars (aka </endtag>) and an <emptytag/> not being an <emptytag></emptytag>, as well as all those problems with entities, is terrible. the data model of XML is pretty cool and better than JSON (YAML with !!tags is actually pretty equal in expressivness), but the syntax is horrible.
@nanobot248@McPringle I care a lot less about the syntax, which boils down to personal preferences, than characteristics: composability, available tooling, etc.
