discussion on wing beta launch

[ekeren]

Description

This issue is a bucket for all things related to our beta release

For example, @ShaiBer has noted that we have some heavy stones before beta:

Would like to identify them, assign owners, and start product work, RFCs:
Good Bring JS experience
Infra as configuration
Minimal permissions and explicit permissions
Console as a business (analytics, etc.)

Listing the issues for the above:

• Module System - extern #478
• Story: Infrastructure Customizations #493
• Mechanism for explicitly qualifying lifting #76
• Epic: 3rd party resource development model #471
• https://github.com/winglang/console/issues/185

According to @yoav-steinberg - these additional big issues are left TODO in the compiler:

• Inference: use Hindley Milner algorithm instead of our current naive implementation.
• Compiler or lang-server: need to discuss with @MarkMcCulloh and see if any refactoring is needed.
• nil/null/optionals/undefined
• Some language features not fully implemented (recursion, inheritance, …).
• Interpreter vs compiler: decide if we want to our compile target to be WASM.

2 more tasks are expected to be completed in the next few weeks:

• this capture
• JSify ~methods and resource implementation Resource declaration: JSify inflight methods #542
