Ray is a bit Python-specific, so I assume they have reasons to stick to Argo's language-agnostic approach?

I do find Argo's turing-complete language implemented in YAML painful, so I am also curious.

Yes, YAML does seem to be the "Cloud Native" tax. For all but the simplest of Workflows, it is necessary to use a templating language or one of the Argo SDKs.

We use jsonnet for building and manipulating YAML at the moment and are reasonably happy with it.
