> why Ruby instead of Python? Partially, because I've been burned too much by pythons packaging madness. But beyond that, there is a bunch of strong, mature tooling done in ruby. Rake as a task runner, Thor as a simple library for more complex tools, guard as a general nice-ness, if you wanna go there, the entire chef-stack. And if your main application is in ruby, there's very little overhead to use these strong tools to make your entire infrastructure better for little additional education, build chains or further investment.
