Very cool! What's the difference between WinLang and Serverless?

The way I read it is that Winglang combines your IaC and your runtime logic/code. In theory it's pretty neat, I haven't given it a serious try though. I'm not totally convinced that I want my infrastructure definition intermingled with my business logic though.

Hey, I'm part of the Wing team, I see where you're coming from regarding intermingling business logic with infra definitions. If it makes sense, these infra definitions are the functional part of the infrastructure (declaring that you want a bucket and pre-populating it with objects during deployment for instance). The non-functional parts (encryption, redundancy, others) can be taken care of separately on the platform side

Hey, I'm part of the Wing team, Winglang is a general purpose programming language, not a framework, so there are less limitations on how far it can take the development experience. It let's developers work at a higher level of abstraction, is fully extensible and is cloud and provisioning engine agnostic. It comes with a local cloud simulator, allowing you to get instant feedback and enjoy very short iteration cycles. It also comes with a visualisation console to interact with the local app and debug and test it.

One is a programming language, the other is the accepted name for the concept of "pay as you go" PaaS services.

GP may have been referring to Serverless Framework (http://serverless.com/)

Yup
