not really.. as soon as you need cloud resources that are not in your k8s cluster, you end up with the cloud in your development loop.

wing has interoperability with the npm ecosystem, so basically any node package can be used quite easily from winglang code.
on the infra side, there’s interoperability with the CDK for terraform ecosystem.

I’ve used all of these locally to great success.
Glad to hear you guys want to interop with npm.
But can’t you already do this today with GCP and AWS and more generally a wealth of Docker images and Kub/Knative?
Furthermore, I wonder how you guys plan to encourage users to jump ship from (node/go/Java/.NET) to winglang, all of which have a rich package ecosystem?
