It's like choosing programming language by selecting the one that's easiest for you to learn. You haven't learned anything beside new punctuation and keywords. Ansible is basically a glorified shell script executed semi-inter

I like the idea, especially that it's written in C (the core part, anyway) and there's just a few dependencies to install. However, the part of README that shows how to run it is completely unreadable for me, as it uses magic Dock
