Rendering yaml files (helm/kustomize) with Rust?

[dpc]

I am so tired of dealing with yaml files. Rendering yaml files using templates and other yaml files is IMO utterly ridiculous.

As a developer, what I would actually want to do to is to use code to render these yaml files. Write code, write unit-tests for it, compiler, execute and get my yaml output on stdout. Ideally, personally, I would prefer using Rust for it.

Did anyone explore this direction?
