A short but sweet list! Wing sounds super interesting - can you share a bit more about it? What would it be a replacement for? Could I use it for my side project, or with my existing framework?

Hey, I'm on the Wing team.
I guess it is a most direct replacement for Serverless framework (or any other framework for serverless development). It aims to improve your development experience by offering local testing and development, as well as a simplified code base that resembles a monolith.
You can learn more about it here: github.com/winglang/wing
Or join our slack to ask more questions: t.winglang.io/slack
