Speaking of which, rexify.org/ is _almost_ tempting.

I've kinda got used to ansible for now, though I'd be semi-tempted by a system which used a pure language to define things like nix does.

Ansible is... _OK_... but whenever I try and do something even vaguely tricky with it it annoys me. Also Jinja2, bleh. We use Salt at work and most of us are completely fed up with YAML+Jinja2.

Mmm, I wonder if someone might do something using the language behind Bazel (Starlark) which is a python subset designed to do pure computation.
