> simplified, vendor agnostic

I just don't see this being true. Being "cloud agnostic" likely means it's an incredibly leaky abstraction where at the first sign of trouble, you're going to have to understand winglang + the specific provider API. Any IaC product requires you intimiately understand what it's actually doing if you care about security and performance. Just because it's a managed service doesn't mean you get to ignore all it's implementation detail, right?

All the cloud providers give you a function as a service, or a nosql database, or a file bucket: ignoring all the nuance as an agnostic is at a minimum leaving optimisation on the table and more likely dangerous and expensive, surely?



Hey, I understand where you're coming from, but I still think there is room abstraction when done right. I wrote about it here: https://docs.winglang.io/faq/why-cloud-abstraction


have you considered related but distinct products for each cloud? like flavors of soda from the same company.

many users are single cloud, unless your primary target is multi cloud enterprise.

there is benefit to multi cloud facade, but i’m not sure it’s worth the cost.

regardless, cool stuff!
