I agree. I wish we could just use EDN and Clojure, but your DevOps guy is not writing Go or Clojure code.

They are also not doing code reviews to enforce security policies.

If you have DevOps guys who are also software developers, more power to you, but if I approach my DevOps team with:

Hey just code your scripts in this turing-complete languages, they will ask me "what's your username again?" BOFH-style ;)




I find this post very condescending. You are not better than your devops guy at managing infrastructure because you can code in Clojure or GoLang or whatever other programming language.


Holy gods yes! Please let me use a real programming language instead of an unholy mixture of yaml and jinja. Clojure would be such a dream!



Hah, true.

I totally see this being difficult. To enforce DevOps/Ops to actually do code reviews, and versioned, type-safe configuration, but once you accomplish it - the profits are really worth it!
