I like the concept of using different languages instead of terraform because I consider the latter to provide pretty terrible developer experience.

I don't like the idea of having a Turing complete language to do that. I would prefer things to be declarative. Honestly I would just be happy with a better terraform without yaml and better tooling for terraform.

I tried to use pulumi and they didn't support something I needed, or maybe I was too dumb to understand how to do it, so I insta quit.

They're also pretty pushy in selling whatever they're selling.
