Just wondering if it is worth the effort

There is https://github.com/VirtusLab/besom, which allows you to write Pulumi in Scala. I can't speak to whether they enjoyed it, or whether it was worth it, but I would say it's nowhere near as easy and supported as it could be, for sure.

Thanks @lively-crayon-44649 - that is a shame as there could be much more community collaboration if it was supported a little more that as the FAQ says - this is how we did
go
see if you can work it out

I think it's well supported in terms of the openness of Pulumi (no language has special treatment really), but I think there is work to be done in e.g. documentation and public test suites that implementors could use to evaluate their own language runtimes. What language are you looking to add, out of interest?

I have a lot of friends who work in PHP (i used to but switched to python recently) and rust is the new hotness everywhere too
I have way too much "actual" work to do to take it on 🙂

@blue-spoon-32355 it is very possible to make support for other languages, is it worth the effort ? On the end, typescript has the best support/documentation, but still I think there is not enough documentation, or how-to documents to show how to use pulumi. I often use terraform documentation when I am not able to find solution in Pulumi documentation. In my company (big German corporation), someone decided typescript to be used, and some of my team members didn't like that idea, and now, I am grateful, just to be clear, at same job, I first touched Pulumi, and typescript, I had only experience with a Terraform.
