This is a new provisioning tool built with https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ that I hope both provides great value and also demonstrates the start of a new way to build certain kinds of software. Thanks for reading! - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

I've looked briefly into this project before. Some ideas are similar to what I'm doing in https://github.com/purpleidea/mgmt/ but the really weird thing is that I have no idea who's behind this language. A person? A company? A small group?

It's not clear to me whether all of the apps offered are subscription-based, though. It's a model I'd be more willing to try than subscriptions to individual apps, although its OS and app offerings... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
