Allow to use TypeScript for Bake

[felipecrs]

Description

Bake is super cool, but HCL is very limiting.

Terraform is working around this now through https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk.

I wonder if something similar could be done for buildx. :)

but HCL is very limiting.

Can you elaborate on these limitations?

[felipecrs]

I want to run external commands for example, like git rev-parse HEAD.

This one might as well: https://github.com/jetify-com/tyson Not as a CDK, rather for using TypeScript as a configuration language. The library parsing it is conveniently written in Go :)
