PHP, Ruby, Node.js all have excellent tooling for making command line applications as well as websites. While none of them have focused much on having a GUI, projects do exist.
Ruby in particular is very widely used as a system automation language.
- tooltalk 9y agoI thought Ruby is/was mostly known for the Rail framework. I know that both Chef and Puppet are written in Ruby, but is there any particular reason why Ruby is better as configuration management/system automation language?
- mamcx 9y agoBut not as strong as with python. And certainly PHP/Node is biased heavily for web-apps. Python is a bit more broad.
