Why use .nomad extension over .hcl?

The guides show using a .nomad extension, but everywhere else I’ve seen used .hcl. Why would I want to use .nomad?

Hi @cashihorp! No particular reason for that, other than it makes it a bit easier to keep your Nomad jobspecs visually separated from your Nomad configuration files and other HCL-language files.
