Wing: A cloud-oriented programming language – request alpha access
Why is this a language, not just a framework for JavaScript or whatever?<p>I suppose you could say the same about Terraform using HCL - but that makes extensive use of it being declarative, which is so unusual that they&#x27;d be picking an obscure probably-new-to-the-user language anyway. This just looks.. JS-ish, a bit like anything really.<p>I suppose I&#x27;m asking what are the <i>language</i> features that make Wing great for &#x27;cloud&#x27;, any `new Bucket()` etc. aside?<p>If you look at its &#x27;design tenets&#x27;, the only ones that are about the language not the SDK are just saying &#x27;be good&#x2F;familiar like other languages&#x27;... Ok so why not <i>be</i> another language? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.winglang.io&#x2F;reference&#x2F;spec#02-design-tenets" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;docs.winglang.io&#x2F;reference&#x2F;spec#02-design-tenets</a>
