A big difference is that in those other systems, you don't typically
see modules on the level of
def add_17(n)
return n + 17
end
And of course, we need another module for doing
def add_23(n)
return n + 23
end
Puppet modules for making sure a single package is installed is
on the same sofistication level as the above two. It's silly.
What would the reaction of the Python, Perl and Ruby communities
be if someone wanted modules like that in PyPI, CPAN and RubyGems?
Why should we want such sillinesses in the Puppet Forge?
