Have you taken a look at CDK and CDK-TF? It lets you programmatically generate terraform templates (or cloudformation with plain CDK) from other languages.

I have been using CDK at work and it is fantastic. It feels like React for Infrastructure. I used to write raw Cloudformation at my last internship, and being able to write Typescript instead feels like moving from assembly language to C.

I've been using CDK too at work (work at Amazon) and I feel like its the future of infrastructure provisioning. I can tell you that its a first class product with tons of internal use so it will only get better.

If you are all in on AWS its a no-brainer.

In which language? Is there still significant gaps between languages?

Typescript is the best supported language.
