Description

On func new and func host start, if FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME setting is not present, prompt the user to pick a language for their project and use it to create the local setting.

This is important for scenarios where the user may be cloning from source control and does not have the local settings available.

Research direction

Start at the implementations of func new and func host start, then trace how FUNCTIONS_WORKER_RUNTIME is read and local settings are created. Done means an uninitialized project prompts for a language and uses the selection to create the local setting in both command paths.
