Python is an excellent choice. > - Python is not easy to build into portable binaries > - The package ecosystem is very hard to use in a reproducible way People use OS packages since 4 decades. > - The language is not truly typed The language IS strictly typed. > - types add massive value for infrastructure and scripts because they are less likely to be unit-tested 99% of errors in deployment are not solved by typing. > - The lack of a "let" or "var" keyword makes simple programming errors more likely (again, this code is less likely to be unit-tested) If your logic is so complex that let/var makes a difference you should be not touching infra.
