Yes lots and lots of work, but we enjoy doing it :) About ballerina, there are similarities to wing, but at a high level it is focused on simplifying networking whereas Winglang is about simplifying the use of cloud services.

Yea, no good way around IDE extensions. Hopefully if Wing gets popular enough the community will create extensions where there is demand for them. Also, thanks for taking the time to give us feedback

[I'm on the Wing team] I get what you mean about adoption and maintenance overheads. On the adoption front, we are aware it takes time for languages to get adopted. We also plan to release the Wing SDK to other languages soon, but the

[I'm on the Wing team] Wing is still in early days so we can't show very complex use cases yet, but as time passes developer use to build more and more complex things with it. Our aim is to improve productivity and speed by enabli

[I'm on the Wing team] The elevator pitch is that there are things we cannot do with existing languages, such as our inflights and their connection to preflights. This is because that if we used an existing language we'd have to s

[I'm on the Wing team] Thanks for the feedback. We call it new because it is only a year old, and for programming languages its pretty young. It is just now getting mature enough to be able to build real world applications with. Hope i

[I'm on the Wing team] We currently support AWS, Azure and GCP with varying degrees of maturity. Since it's an open platform one can add any other cloud. More info here: https://www.winglang.io/docs/faq/s

The short answer is that there are things we cannot do with existing languages, such as our inflights and their connection to preflights. The full version is here: https://www.winglang.io/docs/faq/why-a-language

[I'm on the Wing team] Nice coincidence :) There is no plan currently to add a two-way sync between the simulator diagram and the code, and there could be technical difficulties to do it since the code is not generated but written by d

Hey, I'm part of the Wing team, funny you mention the construct programming model as it comes from the CDK, which is Elad's (Wing's creator) previous project. Wing is also built around this concept. I will read the article yo

Hey, I'm part of the Wing team, Winglang is a general purpose programming language, not a framework, so there are less limitations on how far it can take the development experience. It let's developers work at a higher level of ab

Hey, I'm part of the Wing team, I see where you're coming from regarding intermingling business logic with infra definitions. If it makes sense, these infra definitions are the functional part of the infrastructure (declaring that

Hey, I'm on the Wing team, yes you are correct, cloud services, like object storage, are indeed first class citizens and you can use them as naturally in Wing as you would use basic data structures or OS services in traditional languag

Thanks for the feedback. I get where you're coming from about a new language for inflight. We will have support for existing languages in the future, through an SDK, although you will not get all the benefits of the Wing compiler this

Thanks, we'll rephrase to say that it is impossible in most languages, not all. BTW, the company that is behind the project is called Monada ( https://monada.co ), so we've heard of monads :) Would be happy to hear what
