Why are Vagrant, Puppet, Chef written in Ruby?

Question

ruby

Good day! I want to ask experts why Vagrant, Puppet and Chef are written in Ruby, what is its advantage over other languages ​​in this situation? Why not some C/C++, Python, Go? Just wondering why they chose this particular language, because it coincided that the developers knew Ruby well, or is there some other reason? I have nothing against Ruby, just the opposite, I want to learn it and I wondered why it happened that these three programs were written in it.
Thanks in advance for your replies!

Answer 1

I think because the scripting language is described concisely in that language, without the need to create a new DSL. It is easy to "glue" various software on it.
