GitHub would be better for this question as the design team generally moderate the github issues, we're generally here for tech support 🙂

I know there is an existing issue exploring exposing the functionality required to

await

and

Output<T>

. Currently there exists some variation of

Output<T>.GetValueAsync

that you can await in most of the SDK implementations but it may not be exposed the way you would like. Some discussion here: https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/6374 As for being declarative versus functional, I agree that in some scenarios the latter would be better than the former. For instance if your code looked like:

var stack = new Stack();
var bucket = new Aws.S3.Bucket(...);
stack.Add(bucket);

Would solve a fair amount of internal problems related to statically detecting the declared bucket implicitly. But obviously has trade-offs of its own and is a large architectural change so 🤷‍♂️
