Nice blog, maybe add an interactive code snippets using tools like CodePen.

Yeah I agree with you. But since Codepen does not support Wing language. Therefore, I was not able to do it.

Slick! So Wing is a backend abstraction? Something like DarkLang?

Backend API is just a use-case of Wing. The major problem that Wing solves is it makes it easy for developers to build and deploy cloud applications by merging the application code and infrastructure code in a single model. So, developers don't need to write two different codes - one in Terraform and another in a programming language.

You can learn more about Wing - winglang.io

I'm new to open-source. How easy is it to contribute to Wing and are there any good first issues for a junior dev?

Very interesting.
Is Wing similar to Pulumi?

Pulumi is a different thing. It's an open-source tool allowing developers to manage cloud infrastructure using existing languages like JS, TS, and Python. Whereas, Wing is a whole new programming language that merges the infrastructure code and application code of cloud applications, therefore the developer does not need to write two different codes for cloud applications.
