Hi DevOps, how do you think your ideal programming language would look like? I mean a language in which you would write pipeline logic, like Python or Bash, not define pipeline steps itself, like YAML.

I think for me it would have:

  • very clean and readable syntax
  • immutable state by default
  • strong typing
  • strong tooling and IDE support
  • focus on DevOps-need things, like JSON and files manipulation
  • absence of danger things like pointers
  • YUART@feddit.orgOP

    I mainly do things for Jenkins so I mainly code in Groovy. Most complex things I need to do is to manipulate some JSON, files, or strings. Send some messages to Slack, or push some data to DB.
