## What it is
Wing is an open-source, cloud-oriented programming language that unifies infrastructure definitions and application runtime code in a single language. It compiles to deployable cloud artifacts, runs locally via a fully functional simulator without internet, and produces portable programs deployable across cloud providers.

## Use cases
- build serverless applications with infrastructure and code in one language
- test cloud applications locally without deploying
- write portable cloud code that works across AWS, Azure, and GCP
- define cloud resources like queues and buckets as first-class language constructs
- reduce iteration cycles for cloud development
- avoid hand-writing IAM roles and networking configuration

## When to choose
- you want infrastructure and application logic unified in one language
- you need fast local testing of cloud applications via a simulator
- you want cloud-portable code not locked to a single provider
- you are building distributed systems on managed cloud services

## When to avoid
- you need a mature, production-hardened language with a large ecosystem
- your project is not cloud-oriented or runs on a single machine
- you are heavily invested in existing IaC tools like Terraform or CDK
- you require long-term stability guarantees from the language
