DSL, HCL, TF, LSP, and what's behind these acronyms
Radek Simko

This talk will cover HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) and how it evolved over the last years to become the fastest-growing language on GitHub in 2022. HCL powers Terraform, Packer, and many more infrastructure as code tools. We'll look at how a DSL, such as HCL, can be authored comfortably with the help of a language server in an LSP (Language Server Protocol) aware editor (such as VS Code or Sublime Text).
