Darklang vs. Wing [Main differences]

There are several differences between Wing and Darklang, with the main distinction being their approach to ecosystems. Unlike Darklang, which aims to create an entirely new ecosystem from scratch, Wing focuses on integrating with existing ecosystems and tools.

With Wing, you can write code that is interoperable with JavaScript, allowing you to leverage the extensive NPM ecosystem. When you compile your code, it is transformed into JavaScript and Terraform, ensuring that your downstream tools remain the same as before. This approach helps developers to adopt Wing more easily and integrate it into their existing workflows.
