Aws-cdk: Other language support

[Doug-AWS]

Let us know if you have a favorite language that we have not covered in the other issues.

Scala, Kotlin, Erlang, Haskell, Visual Basic???

Kotlin!

The type-safe Builders in Kotlin are a perfect fit for defining infrastructure in code :)

Hi! We are already using Haskell with https://github.com/freckle/stratosphere to get some of the way there (type safe CloudFormation construction), trying to define some adhoc higher-level patterns of resource construction, would be really great if there were an official CDK support.

[hiljusti]

Rust, please

(There are dozens of us!)

P.S. I'm willing to assist on the language binding.

[milesgranger]

+1 for Rust, and I too, would be willing to assist where possible! :+1:

[andrea-zoleo]

Scala, please.

CUE

I know it's a bit esoteric, but hear me out.

As a declarative language for desired infrastructure state, Cloudformation and others leave a bit to be desired. However, in the quest for more power and expressiveness, I don't think Turing-completeness is what I want, either. CUE's constraints unification approach is a better fit for IaC.

How about Dhal? 🙂

Would love to see well maintained Clojure support. https://github.com/StediInc/cdk-clj/ was a nice project, but outside resources just can't keep up with your speed and it's now abandoned.

Rust please

[alberto-sbp]

Yes, Rust please
