Shared Library packaging
Describe the feature
At the moment JSII is requiring that NodeJS is available in order for users of the CDK in other languages be able to use it. But if JSII was package as a shared library that could simply be pull just using native dependecy management tools for each language be it for example either JVM, Go, .NET, Python then this would make user in this other languages more at easy with using it, because at the moment as in practice CDK only looks to be something that one would only use it either from Javascript or Typescript.
Use Case
Make it easier for consumers in other languages runtimes to use JSII
Proposed Solution
Examples exist in the Java with for example embedded MongoDB or embedded Redis

We have been talking about this for awhile and is something we are actively exploring now!
@MrArnoldPalmer thank you for the feedback. Have seen Pulumi, they have a thing called crosscode that looks to allow then to generate cross platform code
