>I think the configuration aspect (YAML)

What are the reasons to not use JSON rather than YAML? From my admittedly-shallow experience with k8s, I have yet to encounter a situation in which I couldn't use JSON. Does this issue only pop up once you start using Helm charts?

One of the most annoying limitations of JSON is that it does not allow for comments.

at the surface level yaml is a lot easier to read and write for a human. less "s. but once you start using it for complex configuration it becomes unwieldy. but at that point json is also not better than yaml.

after using cdk i think that writing typescript to define infra is a significantly better experience
