HN discussionI’ve been working on an OS project to help people get on this bandwagon: create-rust-app [1].

Some of the others: - https://www.pulumi.com/docs/tutorials/cloudfx/ - https://www.serverless.com/cloud - https://www.shuttle.rs/ - https://encore.dev In general, while it's clear that somehow cloud complexity needs to be abstracted away fro…

HN discussionre: Why is this a language, not just a framework for JavaScript or whatever? One product that's taking this approach is shuttle -> https://www.shuttle.rs/ (disclaimer: I work there). It's built around Rust and not TS but we have some updates coming soon which is going to expand on this. We've been thinking about this DSL question for a while and it's pretty much a trade-off.

HN discussionI’m a fan/user of Pulumi, but this doesn’t feel similar to me. In Pulumi you write code that describes infrastructure, separate from the application layer code you’re deploying. This appears to be using application code to derive infrastructure config automatically. It’s a but like the https://www.shuttle.rs/ approach. Edit: after taking a deeper look, a more accurate description might be that it allows you to embed…

HN discussionWinglang looks really cool. I'm really curious how Winglang will evolve their language syntax and semantics to make cloud development more expressive (I assumed `bring` and `inflight` keywords are just the beginning?). At Shuttle[0] we've built something similar but instead of building a language from scratch we've built on Rust using metaprogramming and the type system to achieve the same effect. For now we haven't…

HN discussionIt would be great if there are some kind of code snippet on the README that really demonstrate the "ship backends without writing infra" feature that I think is one of the unique feature of shuttle.
