A bit.

This is the reason why I have learned to only use first party SDK languages for production code.

Anything else that isn't supported by a platform SDK out of the box, means extra work writing FFI bindings, complexity (is the bug on the platform libraries, FFI bindings or runtime library of the new language), harder to debug (lack of support from SDK tools).

Of course, if the goal is to try to push SDK vendors to add support, then this is probably the only path to raise awareness.

And this is a big part of why we can't have nice things and programming is stuck in the 70s. And regressing.

I understand the reasoning, it's just a terrible dynamic.
