09/30/2022, 3:54 AMIs there a way to use Pulumi with Typescript v4? I would like to use newer TS features, such as
import types

09/30/2022, 6:45 AMYou can use yarn resolutions or npm overrides to force a version of ts-node that supports a more recent typescript version

• https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/10122

Status so far: this will be work for Pulumi v4, given Typescript v4 has breaking changes.

09/30/2022, 9:42 AMFYI, we aren’t forcing you to use Typescript. You can use any of our NPM packages without TypeScript at all.

There are a number of Javascript only examples here: https://github.com/pulumi/examples

09/30/2022, 4:01 PMcoercing is still too strong of a word. They encourage TS but you have 100% freedom to use JS. There's no loss in features/support.
Not all type systems are created equal though. Go's is (intentionally) very limited and not at all comparable to TS.

10/12/2022, 10:18 AM@clean-football-9795 Yup, but I feel that vanilla Javascript/Node.js goes best with Pulumi, it’s very lightweight, flexible and expressive 🙂
On one of our biggest projects we properly set up the Pulumi projects with JS, and the Ops people loved it, as well as the Developers - it was awesome. (not to mention that we could write AWSLambdas (almost) seamlessly in the same codebase & they were extremely lightweight (<1kb most of the time). It was glorious :)
