I would point out that Dhall solves these problems with one simple fundamental construct: the function.
And still keep it terminating.
You can do it but it means doing more cognitive engineering than "just throw python at it".
Another point: you can have a declarative turing complete language. I would really like to see people bring prolog like languages to things like pulumi and terraform.
That would also allow to get convergent concurrent application which means we could get proper collaboration. That would be a strong move ahead for devops.
