Hi Folks. I've just started using the Pulumi Go SDK.  In some of the example code it uses type `pulumi.String` instead of just a regular Go `String` . What's the advantage of using the String from the `pulumi`  package?

<@U02R6KTHGCE> any `pulumi.String` indicates it's an output or input, meaning it resolves asynchronously. it's built that way due to a lack of generics in Go

there's no advantage of disadvantage, you generally _have_ to use pulumi.String if you're dealing with a resource
