Ansible might be a valid example of a system that should have been built using a programming language instead of a data language. Due to the template language mixed with interpretation it can be quite difficult to understand the source of a particular error, and the limitations of Jinja make it quite difficult to express some things that would be straightforward to write in Python. That said you can be quite productive with Ansible and the config is very easy to read and simple to write. I think the original Ansible author now tries a Python based approach with his new tool (opsmops), so we'll see how that works out!
