Valid point.
Don't fly you end up creating a turing-complete config file as well? I remember it being stored as some kind of Yaml like syntax.

Fly does substitutions, but that's it: no loops, no if-thens. It's almost certain that something can be tickled into being Turing-complete; it's actually devilishly difficult to avoid doing it by accident. My hunch is pipelines are Turing complete, but I haven't gotten around to proving it.
But there's a difference between trying not to introduce it and going out of your way to build a programming language in YAML. An actual, honest-to-god programmable YAML.
Wait, doesn't Pivotal also sponsor Turing-complete YAML development?

BOSH v1 manifests were Lovecraftian. Well beyond Turing and into the deep underdark of the Beyondness That Must Not Be Yea Even Unto Enterprise.
Delegating container scheduling to Kubernetes is the next major epic on the Core track for Concourse.
As for Argo: I am not particularly in favour of Turing-complete YAML.
Disclosure: I really like Concourse. I work for Pivotal, which sponsors Concourse development.
