I developed on the JVM for years before picking up Haskell. I'm wondering what's the state of Java, Scala, Kotin support?

I know of Joe's work at Microsoft and on CLR. I wonder if there is still a sense of us/them. I'm not overly fond of the JVM but I am all for widespread adoption of Pulumi. I want it to win! Lack of JVM support could be a barrier. The TypeScript support is usable by all though (but then why'd you need CLR/C#/F# support?). I do need to get better at TS though. I'm pretty clumsy at it :)
Perhaps Microsoft acquisition is the exit strategy? I've no idea how Microsoft feel about Java these days.

Lots of reasons for supporting more lauugages. There's a few back-office apps that I'm aware of that would really benefit from being able to change the desired state of their own infrastructure.
