Strictly a timing issue. We brought TypeScript/JavaScript online first and most of our focus was there while building up the supporting tooling. Fortunately, the design of the system makes it pretty easy to add new languages (we've since then done Python and Go). Most of the team is ex-.NET folks and I've been itching to build out the .NET support. Now that we've launched, it will at least become /my/ spare time project.
I'll be really excited when we have it well. Do keep your eye out!
- thrww20180618 8y agoAre you worried that adding "non-hip" languages from the start will alienate the kind of Microsoft-avoiding crowd you as a corporation are trying so hard to win? Is Pulumi some sort of open-ended research project like Midori? If I want to offer it to an enterprise client shall I say "don't worry one of their guys might add C#/Java in his spare time if he has a chance"?
