Issue details
Pulumi's Java API is similar to that of the CDK for Terraform in its use of the Builder pattern.
In other JVM languages such as Kotlin and Scala, it is more idiomatic to use data/case classes with optional parameters instead in most basic cases. See this article on Kotlin's Type-safe builders.
How would someone go about contributing idiomatic support for Kotlin or Scala?
Affected area/feature
