Given the above, what's the most popular language for community libraries for Pulumi? I'm inclined towards TypeScript (for type-safety) or Go as it's big in the space. However, the Go bindings look a little awkward (maybe any Go would look that way to me as I'm not that familiar with it). I like the look of the F# bindings as I'm a bit of an FP guy, however, it'd be a bit unusual to reach for .NET in my projects.

for what it's worth, the TS bindings seem the most fleshed out, so I'd be satisfied staying there. And that's coming from an F# guy for about 7 years now 🙂

Right now, TypeScript has the additional advantage that is has the pulumi/awsx and pulumi/policy node modules. Afaik neither have been ported anywhere else yet? Python is in the works, I know...

Thanks. I reckon I can be happy with TS.

if you are really set on using F#, you could probably use Fable to transpile F# to javascript and feed that into the pulumi stack 🙂 (sorta like ReasonML/bucklescript allow for transpiling ocaml to JS)

Oh, I'm not set on F#. I just saw an example on the interwebs somewhere. It looked nice and I like that it's from the ML/OCaml family of languages. Perhaps that was just a prototype! I figured the .NET support would be good for any .NET language — VB even 🙊

oh it should! it's just balancing that against the fact that in pulumi nice things come to typescript first 🙂

I'm trying out the TS support and I'm liking it 🙂

It's good already. Add in the Test Explorer, Remote Explorer, Docker extension and all the rest of the VSCode goodies, and it's a nice little set-up we've got here...
