HCL is a Hashicorp configuration language.
It's also part of a broader ecosystem of tools built by cloud automation company HashiCorp that largely center around Terraform.
Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool that makes it easier to define and manage your cloud infrastructure. HCL is simply the syntax that allows you to better leverage its capabilities. It gives you a significant degree of control over your infrastructure in a way that's more 'human-readable' than other configuration languages such as YAML and JSON.
HCL and Terraform are both important parts of the DevOps world.
