Description
Unobin is a language and compiler for Infrastructure as Code (IaC).IaC source is written and compiled to a binary, called a factory. The factory includes the runtime and all dependencies. To run a factory, pass it a configuration called a stack file that defines backend state and factory inputs. The stack file can only contain configuration, not arbitrary code. Factories can also display a UI in a browser showing progress (animated screenshot in the docs).

Could you build this?
No Creating a dedicated language, compiler, runtime packaging system, and state-reconciliation engine for cloud infrastructure demands deep compiler design and systems programming expertise.
What it would actually take: Building this requires developing a complete compiler pipeline (lexer, parser, type checker, intermediate representation) written in a language like Rust or Go that targets static native binaries. The compiler must embed a declarative runtime, provider SDKs (AWS, GCP, Azure), dependency graph resolution (DAG), and a state persistence engine comparable to Terraform core.
Discussion
4 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: Pulumi with Go, Terraform
Concerns raised: Requires learning custom syntax (not standard language)
Feature requests: Embedded mode to import as library in Go program, More frameworks designed as libraries rather than standalone tools
