Also, 2 questions that come to mind:

1. Is it based on ChatGPT? How does it ensure there are no hallucinations or that what it produces is correct? 2. Is this open source

Very cool idea, and sleek execution!

Going live now. On the agenda this week: · Immutable by default · Customize infrastructure using compiler plugins · Create composable cloud abstractions · Import and use CDK libraries · Realtime visualization of your cloud application

[Disclaimer, I am on the Wing team] Very good read! There are many tools in the space, each suitable for diff needs. Wing, as an infra and code solution, targets developers of resource heavy apps who'd like to work at a higher level of abstraction, yet remain in full control to embrace the diversity of the cloud. More details soon :)

[Wing team member here] Makes a lot of sense. As someone here guessed, this post was not something that we planned and it caught us off guard

[Wing team member here] To get some more insight into why we're building Wing, you are welcome to read Elad's blog post: https://docs.winglang.io/blog

We're still working on it. You are welcome to join our GitHub and help influence what shape it will take. Additionally, you can create your own resource, or a target for a resource if you find the one that comes with the standard library lacking.

[Wing team member here] Sorry about the 404s. They are displayed to anyone who has not been given access to the repo yet. You are welcome to request access, and I promise to let you in very quickly. The reason the repo is not yet completely open is that we want a way to engage more with our first community members and get some data about their needs.

[Wing team member here] I promise you this is a real project with a very large code-base already. You are welcome to request access, and I promise to let you in very quickly so you can see. The reason it is not yet completely open is that we want a way to engage more with our first community members and get some data about their needs.

[Wing team member here] We are looking into adding cost evaluation and cost optimization abilities in Wing in the future. Right now we are focusing on the basics of the language. You are welcome to join our GitHub repo and vote on the features that are important for you.

[Wing team member here] We feel that the cloud has matured to a point where the basic services have enough in common with each other to allow us to successfully abstract their _functional_ parts. We do not abstract away the non-functional ones. You are welcome to check out the implementation of the standard library on GitHub and let us know what you feel is missing in the different abstractions.

[Wing team member here] Wing compiles to JS + Terraform, so all your downstream tools function as they did before

[Wing team member here] We also believe that creating good, non-leaky abstractions is hard, but we feel that the cloud has matured to a point where the basic services have enough in common with each other to allow us to successfully abstract their _functional_ parts. We do not abstract away the non-functional ones.

It is true that you would get more benefits from Wing as you write more of your code in it and give the compiler more visibility into your code. But you are not required to write everything in Wing, and there is interop to other languages. Since the language compiles to TF and JS at the moment, you can import JS libraries to use in your code and take advantage of the huge JS ecosystem.

The cloud simulator is not meant to simulate the cloud, including its non-functional concerns - you have local stack for that indeed. The idea of the simulator is to give you the most light weight and fastest way to test the functional aspects of your code while you develop it. You definitely need to further test it with local stack and/or the cloud.
