&quot;An Ansible alternative written in Go would be perfect.&quot;<p>Why?<p>I understand the allure of Go - I was an embedded systems engineer working predominately in assembly language and C for many years.  Memory management was a pain and concurrency was practically non-existent on many uCs.<p>But Ansible is pretty mature at this point, with a vibrant community, lots of internal and third-party modules and it&#x27;s based on a ubiquitous scripting language (Python).<p>Please help me understand the rationale of a rewrite - what are the goals, what deficit would if fix and would the time required be justified versus enhancing Ansible as it is.  At best I&#x27;m a Go newb, but I&#x27;m pretty proficient with Python - if it&#x27;s just that Ansible&#x27;s &quot;not in your language&quot;, I&#x27;d argue a rewrite represents a false economy.
