YAML is actually tricky, especially with multiline strings and space handling.
I do find HCL to be simpler. But for things like Ansible, I'd rather have a real programming language, like PyInfra does (which I never got to try yet unfortunately).
Yeah at beginning I really wanted to use HCL.. But their parser and implementing it was actually a little bit more difficult that doing just raw YAML parsing.
It also doesn't help that I'm not that familiar with the language.
