In a way I feel that everything is an alternative to everything and at the same time nothing is. As you said it all depends on the circumstances. But I don't really see Zig competing with Go. They both can do mostly the same things, but they both approach them from quite a different sides. For example bash is being used in: - gaming (https://github.com/JosefZIla/bash2048) - web apps (https://github.com/avleen/bashttpd) - networking - CLIs - distributed systems (https://github.com/frameable/aviary.sh) - crypto (https://armedia.com/blog/blockchain-program-written-bash/ https://github.com/grondilu/bitcoin-bash-tools) - systems programming (https://github.com/damphat/kv-bash) - language tooling Some of those make more sense than others. However we all talk about a mythical general case. For every language there are niches that are covered by

I have worked with Ansible for a few years in the industry and consequently I came to learn its dark side. For example, it has some of the most cryptic error messages I’ve ever experienced. At the time I first adopted it, HashiCorp’s offerings were not as open source as they are now, so I would recommend Hashi’s stuff as of today. However, I recently discovered “just” (https://github.com/casey/just) which is a good parity of ansible but minus the cumbersome YAML and the idempotent aspect which is mostly useless in practice for Ansible; so I would recommend taking a look at it and also consider aviary in tandem with Just (https://github.com/team-video/aviary.sh), together they are very simple and perfect for much of what one does with Ansible except for provisioning and orchestration which is where Hashi’s stuff comes into play.
