Ansible analogue without yaml?

Question

YAML

Tired of writing footcloths yaml c loop, when, etc. It turns out that I am writing code in yaml, which technically should be just a type for configuration.

What is the alternative to Ansible?

• agentless, or agent over SSH
  
• the infrastructure is described by the code in a full-fledged language (which one is not so important, but preferably not DSL)

The closest alternative that I have used for a long time is Fabric , but there is just a lot to write yourself.
