You can use yarn resolutions or npm overrides to force a version of ts-node that supports a more recent typescript version

This came up in our issue tracker before: • https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/pull/10122 • https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/8177

@aloof-leather-66267 Just use Javascript & everything is solved 😄

FYI, we aren’t forcing you to use Typescript. You can use any of our NPM packages without TypeScript at all. https://www.pulumi.com/blog/building-your-first-serverless-app-using-only-javascript/ There are a number of Javascript only examples here: https://github.com/pulumi/examples Search for

in the top level folder name.

@limited-rainbow-51650 sorry, wrong word, not

forcing

->

coercing

😄 (or some more softer word, sry English is not my native lang.)

coercing 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.

Then there is Go, Java, dotnet, python SDKs as well

@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 :)
