Please give me a simple, type safe, easy to use language (hint Dhall) to represent my infra.

YAML programming is not something that makes people happy. K8s is even worse in this regard, YAML documents embedded into YAML documents.

Pulumi with Go or Typescript? I'm not sure why people are so hung up on using custom languages for their infrastructure.

Do you understand what is the difference between the things you can express with Dhall or ML vs Go or TS?

People are so hung up because we could do so much better with expressing only valid states and you do not need to deploy your infra to figure out that and S3 bucket cannot have a redirect_only flag set and also a website index document set at the same time.
