ohhhh this is really smart; every terraform user has at some point run up against the limits of it not being a language and flirted with pulumi. natural excuse now to get started, esp if the auto import works

targeting translation between declarative-ish languages is a natural day-1 application for LLMs

declarative languages generally good, bc 1) it's relatively easy to check them, 2) they are low-boilerplate (less to get wrong + better support for small token memories)

wonder if this backfires bc pulumi is more powerful, giving the LLM more chances to get in trouble? like there are cases where in order to check a pulumi program you would need something like TLA+ with a good model of the system you are targeting
