Question

It would help even more with Kubernetes types used to express yaml equivalents just need to improve the Pulumi C types What do you reckon < tall librarian 49374>

Yeah We can t get rid of input types I m afraid

worried-city-86458 · Answer

I m not suggesting that rather they should somehow play nice with target typing probably by having a default ctor but I m not sure of the implications

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

The default constructor isn t enough right The generic type doesn t have the properties that you set Compiler should somehow be instructed to instantiate the `T` type directly not `Input lt T gt `

worried-city-86458 · Answer

Yeah I think you re right The `Input lt T gt ` is relying on implicit type conversion The thing is you only ever instantiate `T` directly otherwise you re passing an `Output lt T gt ` from upstream

worried-city-86458 · Answer

I can t see an easy way to do it since `Input lt T gt ` can t derive from `T` so it would have to compose wrap `T` instead effectively lifting the properties of `T` That would require either dynamic dispatch or code generation

Let me know if you have any ideas

tall-librarian-49374 · Answer

We do a similar codegen for Go so it is possible but I m not sure if it would be a good thing for C Go doesn t have generics so options are limited

IIRC the typescript support lifts properties which is nice to have as it makes `apply` etc go away

worried-city-86458 · Answer

so there would be other benefits

TypeScript has a language feature for that
