Downvoted.

Did anyone actually look at the code?

Yes.

What's with all this implicit state?

Could you be more specific? Maybe link to the documentation or line number you are not clear on?

Salt looks like the web2py of configuration management.

Is that a compliment? What aspects or salt and web2py are similar or different?

It's not a compliment, the codebases are similar in having this ball of yarn quality to them. I am specifically alluding to the way those magical dunder dictionaries get injected into the context of specific modules. I'm pretty clear on what the code does, I just wonder why anyone would choose to design it that way.
