I wish there was an Ansible thing but built in a real programming language, where we'd get all the type hinting and autocompletions stuff in without much fuss.

I wish there was an Ansible thing but built in a real programming language, where we'd get all the type hinting and autocompletions stuff in without much fuss. Basically what Pulumi did for IaC (versus Terraform which is just like Ansible, textual hell) I've thought about building something like this in Rust. Maybe something that compiles a statically linked binary which gets uploaded over the wire, and that is the thing that gets run in the final system to apply your new config state.
