Is this a trick to make infrastructure/devops engineers learn TypeScript?

But, hey, when looking at the origins of OOP and its main uses (back then: Simulations and UI): Maybe this is exactly what one needs to describe and setup infrastructure and there have been various projects going in that direction.

Make message passing truly async, throw in Garbage Collection, make it dynamic (i.e. creating a new instance of an object leads to some sort of deployment) and voila: Your traversable, introspect-able object graph is now a representation of your infrastructure.
