Maledictus··on Pyinfra: Automate Infrastructure Using Python
Thank you for the feedback!

IMHO Ruby is better for creating DSLs, so I wrote a small thing to scratch my own itch: https://github.com/marius/koch

This is not meant to scale to more than a handful of machines, but you get the idea how nice straight Ruby is for a machine specification DSL.

Maledictus··on Koch – a simple Chef zero replacement
Koch is a simple replacement for Chef zero. You can use it to configure single hosts. It has no network functionality.

The file to define how a machine should look like is pure Ruby, Koch just provides convenience functions.

Sadly CockroachDB is not open source anymore. Maybe take a look at TiDB.
Maledictus··on Which programming paradigm had the most impact on you as an engineer and why?
Ruby's programmer happiness focus.

This makes me sad. Subversion is such an elegant and simple versioning system. I really wish something would come along that does for git what subversion did for CVS.
