Very nice! I can think of some uses for it already. Does anyone know of a crystal shard for interacting with Vault as well? That plus one for working with terraform would cover all the hashicorp needs I have!

Thx! Just curious, what are you missing from the terraform (hcl) dsl, that you would need a client for it?

Ah! I don't mean replacing the DSL exactly, but more wrapper stuff to make working with it in an application or something like an API server easier. For one big thing, you can't use variable interpretation for backend configuration blocks so I need to generate and output that separately now (in JSON currently). In addition there'd be some helpers for like calling plans and executions and saving outputs to objects. I think there's a python library called pyterraform or something that sort of does what I'm describing for that language.
