> Those sound as decent and understandable reasons — except perhaps the #1. I'd avoid going into language comparison contests here — but it's hard to refute that Python is among the few must know languages for DevOps folks and the like. - [taken from the GitHub thread] I understand where the poster is coming from but I think it’s hard to overstate the reach and compatibility needs of the AWS CLI. Also, of course, times change and Python man be supplanted by another scripting language. Anyway, I think the AWS team is making the right call though I am a big package manager fan.
