With 0.13 almost released and solving problems around support for easy configuration of modules ( with count, foreach etc.) where do the benefits really come in to use CDK? I'm just not seeing it and even your article, as you've well researched, hasn't gotten the full answer just yet either.

HCL works for configuration and now this seems like it's just complicating configuration instead of really simplifying it. Perhaps I'm not the target audience and this is really geared towards people familiar with just Typescript and python. That's likely what this was meant for in the first place.
