I’m wondering how winglang compares to Pulumi, a powerful and multi-language Infrastructure as Code tool .
If you’re curious about pulumi, I explored it in a previous issue to automate the creation and deployment of a cloud function that summarizes YouTube videos.
There is a lot of emphasis in the article about the cross cloud capabilities, but what I found is that the localhost capabilities and ability to write integration test locally that runs on the cloud is the main value proposition people are attracted to!!!
Too bad the console thing is proprierty. This makes this amazing project no go for me. I might be radical but an open source project must be 100 % open source otherwise it is evil
Hi Alexander, thanks for the feedback. The console is an add-on that is not required for the language to work. However, we do understand the optics of having a fully open source project placed inside a mono repo with non open code can be problematic. Therefore, we are considering either splitting the console off to its own repo (even though it will make development harder), or changing its license to be more open.

It’d be awesome if you had a look at it 😉

Yeah even I was curious about this when I was drafting this article. I found this comparison with Pulumi and many other frameworks here: https://www.winglang.io/docs/faq/why-a-language#so-how-does-writing-code-in-wing-compare-to-other-solutions
Really detailed article, thanks, Avi!
Great stuff Avi!

Interesting, is this like a cloud enabled version of streamlit?
