Show HN: Winglang – a new Cloud-Oriented programming language

• wing

  50 4,395 9.9 TypeScript

  A programming language for the cloud ☁️ A unified programming model, combining infrastructure and runtime code into one language ⚡

  

> Why a whole language rather than a library that could just as well abstract the cloudy infrastructure and expose its data structures as "first class citizens" ?

"Very cool, but what here cannot be done by a library or compiler extension?

In existing languages, where there is no way to distinguish between multiple execution phases, it is impossible to naturally represent this idea that an object has methods that can only be executed from within a specific execution phase (or within certain scopes of the program). You are welcome to read more about it here (including code samples that show the same app built in Wing vs. other solutions)."

• unison

  17 5,555 9.9 Haskell

  A friendly programming language from the future

  

I've been following the Unison lang [1] for quite some. Wing seem to set similar goals? From the first glance Wing looks more polished, but there's "The Big Idea" behind Unison - is there something similar?

• terraform-cdk

  104 4,720 9.9 TypeScript

  Define infrastructure resources using programming constructs and provision them using HashiCorp Terraform

  

You can use CDK with other providers using https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-cdk

In my experience, CDK is far better than Pulumi, especially if you're mostly going to be using AWS.

• nballerina

  15 142 7.6 Ballerina

  Ballerina compiler that generates native executables.

  

oh boy -- lot's of work ahead for you folks, best of luck! I'll be watching this project. We do a ton with GCP so when this matures we'll be looking at it more.

How do you compete with -- if at all -- with Ballerina lang? https://ballerina.io/

• awscli-local

> not really.. as soon as you need cloud resources that are not in your k8s cluster, you end up with the cloud in your development loop.

https://github.com/fsouza/fake-gcs-server

https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/downloads-docker

I’ve used all of these locally to great success.

Glad to hear you guys want to interop with npm. Is wing going to be a superset of js then?
