Any reason I can't import an NPM package that has 90% the same interface?

  Of course not. There are some powerful options like CDK and others. An additional goal seems to be to create a simplified language that doesn't have the surface area and dependency issues another language might have. While I understand the reasoning, I've been in tech long enough to know that usually doesn't work, and just creates another real world example of XKCD 927 (https://xkcd.com/927/ https://xkcd.com/927/)

  There's likely a clever way to do that despite Wing's explanation, but it'll be a whole separate project. Wing will pave the way and come up with a good abstraction or two, then become obsolete once general purpose languages with better ecosystems can do the same.
