How does this compare to HCL (Terraform)?

It has about exactly the same feature set. Declarative config, type definitions, data validators, reusable modules, variables, transforming functions, loops and other repeat primitives, reading external data like files and envvars, output and input json or yaml, IDE integration, you name it.

Much under-appreciated language btw. I hardly see it used outside TF. Here I think Pkl has an advantage of gaining adoption in applications, by generating types for the application code. Otherwise it will just stay as mystic item in the admins toolbox that others consider overkill.
