**David Flanagan:** Yeah. CDK is a really cool tool, and it's very similar to Pulumi. It doesn't have the provider support, and it doesn't support the TerraForm providers out of the box... You know, like what Pulumi tries to do with their generators. |
The CDK is awesome, and I think what really excels here is that Pulumi and CDKs shine when you're using TypeScript. I think it's such a great language for infrastructure as code, because it's strictly-typed. You can have interfaces that you can define for the different properties, you need to go out to expose, you're j... |
\[01:27:56.28\] And the way that the Node ecosystem and TypeScript allows you to pass functions around, or even to first class, they can be exported, they can be renamed, they can be bound, there can be higher order, you can pass functions in functions... The flexibility there is phenomenal, so I encourage everyone to ... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** But not you. You're Go, right? |
**David Flanagan:** I do most of my Pulumi in TypeScript. |
**Gerhard Lazu:** Really? |
**David Flanagan:** I have started doing it in Go, and I just -- it's not as nice. Error checking all of the time is still very present in Pulumi Go, so I just stick to TypeScript, actually. When I was working at Equinix Metal, I handled all of the Tinkerbell CI/CD infrastructure using Pulumi with Go, and it was super-... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** Oh, interesting. |
**David Flanagan:** I actually opened an issue going "Please let me do this in TypeScript." |
**Gerhard Lazu:** Okay... And how did that go? Is it still open, the issue? |
**David Flanagan:** We closed the issue and left it in Go just because the work was done, but TypeScript causes first class functions to support higher order functions, being able to pass them around, being able to publish it to npm... There's just so many convenience factors there. That ecosystem is great. Dependencie... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** Yeah, I know... Things are better now. I mean, I still have nightmares from 6-7 years ago. Early Go, when it was just released. It was amazing as a language, but oh my goodness, the whole dependencies... I keep forgetting, there were all these tools which were being invented, which were like half-work... |
**David Flanagan:** Yeah, we used to vendor everything and commit them to our own Git repositories, which was terrible. And then we had that semi-official Dep, which just magically disappeared, because GoMod came out, with 1.10, or 1.11... 1.11 I think it was. And it's been better, I've gotta say. Since more projects a... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** Okay. So as we are getting close to wrapping this up, I have one more thought which I wanna share with you... And it's more like a question, really. What happens with Rawkode? |
**David Flanagan:** Oh, that's not stopping. I've been taking a nice break, spending time with my family for the last couple of weeks... But Rawkode Live will be back in anger in November, with just more -- you know, the cloud-native ecosystem is not standing still. There are so many projects out there. I think what we... |
It's great having the founder there and just showing people how to get started but I really wanna get into use case-specific stuff. I've been talking to more people in the community and going "Why are you actually doing with this tool? What problem is it solving for you?" So I think we can show people not just the Gett... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** That's really exciting, because I'm thinking exactly the same way. I mean, it's great to have all these conversations to get people interested, and to get people steered into what resonates with them, so that they know what's out there... And there's so much out there, as you mentioned. But once you d... |
**David Flanagan:** Yeah. Everything we do is difficult. Software development is not easy, it doesn't matter how long you've been doing it. In fact, it probably gets harder the longer you've been in it. But I think having that breadth of knowledge of what the tools are, when to use them and roughly what they do is real... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** Well, I'm really looking forward to the new and better Rawkode Live, and I'm looking forward to what you do next... But I encourage you taking these couple of weeks, months, however long it's going to be, to make sure everything is nice and smooth, the transition in the new job is smooth... The onboar... |
**David Flanagan:** I couldn't agree more. I've definitely taken another couple of weeks just to spend time with the family, and then I'll come back in November, hopefully do some Rawkode stuff. I've got big plans for Klustered, big plans for Rawkode Live, and with Pulumi being my new role, I think it's the first time ... |
**Gerhard Lazu:** And we're looking forward to that, David. Thank you very much for joining us. This was great, thank you. |
**David Flanagan:** Thank you for having me, it's a pleasure. |
