Hi DevOps, how do you think your ideal programming language would look like? I mean a language in which you would write pipeline logic, like Python or Bash, not define pipeline steps itself, like YAML.

I think for me it would have:

  • very clean and readable syntax
  • immutable state by default
  • strong typing
  • strong tooling and IDE support
  • focus on DevOps-need things, like JSON and files manipulation
  • absence of danger things like pointers

I prefer pyinfra over ansible.

I like https://github.com/bazelbuild/starlark as a concept, but it is sadly quite unpopular.

Tilt utilizes it and it's interesting.
