imho, if you think typecasting the AWS api in your local code repository is useful, than Pulumi is the way to go. Maybe one day someone will find an api that AWS didn't properly typecast before releasing and then the hundreds of hours of typecasting in your local repo will be worth it.

Other than that, it's really annoying way to keep infrastructure. I prefer the Terraform DSL myself, but I'm certain there is an audience that disagrees with me.

I dont understand your 2 opening statements:

What do you mean by typecasting here? Isn't providing the types what Pulumi (or TF CDK for that sake) does by the libs it provides? I dot see how I, the consumer of those libs, needs to "type cast" anything.
