Episode 094 – Better Developer Productivity in the Cloud Using Winglang with Elad Ben-Israel

In this episode, Dave and Emily catch up with Elad Ben-Israel, CEO at Wing Cloud and original creator of the AWS CDK. Winglang is new programming language and toolchain designed for the cloud from the ground up. It gives developers a unified way of accessing their cloud infrastructure and code using a single language, while still being able to run and test inside a local simulator for high speed iterations. Elad takes on a historical journey to the original creation of the AWS CDK, the shift from coding for single machines to modern distributed cloud-based systems, the power of open source, and the continued evolution of writing software. There may even be an analogy to burning man and building software as a community.
