    We don't have any plan to build other SDKs at this moment.

    But it's VERY EASY to build an SDK for iWF so I would encourage anyone interested to build one. I will provide all the support.

    A SDK of iWF is very lightweight. It only need to invoke the two WorkflowState APIs from hosting a REST/HTTP service, based on the worker API schema. https://github.com/indeedeng/iwf-idl/blob/main/iwf.yaml#L215

    There is no much tricky things inside the SDK that you have to do. For client APIs to call iWF server(the rest of the API defined in the Open API schema), just need to build a wrapper on top of the generated code from Swagger (and it can be optional but it will just make it easier to use).

    As a data point, it only took me a week to build GoSDK, including all the tests, by just two IntelliJ IDE and also Goland IDE to translate the Java code into Golang.

    The whole community including myself will really appreciate it.
