> but FYI the modern solution is to use CDKTF rather than HCL for Terraform.

That's an odd take. Are you saying that because it's newer? I would push something like Crossplane as more "modern" in that it solves the critical issue of Terraform not having any sort of reconciliation loop.



Because it is a (recent) solution to the problem ("how to easily loop, etc in Terraform").

There are Terraform alternatives...Cloudformation, Pulumi, Crossplane...but that's a separate matter.


Gotcha. I guess I see it more as an alternative rather than a modern evolution. I don't particularly like the direction of these SDKs, but I see an increasing demand for them.
