Most people are not used to using a declarative language and would never consider implementing it that way. Not many PROLOG programmers around anymore, http://learnprolognow.org notwithstanding. So when people brew up their own config management it is almost always done with a procedural language. Perl, python, and shell are what I commonly see people using for implementing their home brew config management. > I know that gets tossed around by the Puppet community as a unique win > for it over others in the space. It seems to me that most people coming to puppet have never used another config management tool and don't know that they tend to be declarative so it is a unique win from their perspective. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
