Yeah, I think the difference is that I was
a) Learning K8s and Helm Concepts (both different things)
b) Reading/Debugging K8s and Helm YAML (both different things)
c) Ending up at Helm Chart Configs (another config)
d) Figuring out how to set all this to helm me deploy the solution I needed and customize it acc to my needs
...all within the span of a few weeks.
So by the time I got to some GitHub repos which were using Jsonnet, I was basically done. I'm sure it has its uses and given enough time and experience, I can see how to utilize it more effectively.
yes, both different things. I guess helm is still the most common entry point for people to handle the contents of a cluster. I'm checking out other suggestions in this thread (dhall), but from my personal experience I can already tell, grafanas k8s jsonnet-libs was a second chance to kubernetes I'm glad I got to know (thanks coworkers).
As you so aptly put, k8s learning curve is beginner hostile and needs system knowledge before you go at it, so I'm not sure if this was also with being more familiar with the abstractions - after having looked at k8s for 2-3 years, jsonnet made me finally like interfacing with the k8s apiserver.
