besides the bootstrap problem, I don't see how chef doesn't solve the issues they had w/ puppet. Perhaps there were things that disqualified chef in their eyes?

awesome comments, apinstein btw, I am copying your method of managing dotfiles with a Rakefile as we speak. I counter that while it takes a while to learn chef, it also takes many times more effort to maintain a custom set of shell scripts

I have written tons of fabfiles and Fabric is a great project. However it isn't intended to managed system state. It is great for code deployment but not suited to configuration management.

The unstated premise of this article is that all sysadmins will very soon be using puppet or chef, thus programming in some subset or DSL that looks a lot like ruby (puppet). However, that's a separate article that I need to get around to w

you also seem to have missed the multiple times I state my personal preference for Python but am shifting to ruby for practical reasons.

but what is the status of rubinius? is it nearly as far along as pypy? I would think that the metaprogramming features of ruby which make it so much fun would also make it n times harder to build a JIT for.
