Wow, that's kind of cool. Didn't know about that. It is me, or is it weird that this has a hard constructor dependency on Constructs[1], which is pretty much undocumented? At least in golang, this brings in some other dependencies and golang init() reflect code [2], which then depends on interacting with javascript!? [3]... something smells odd here.
