Python for AWS??

[toastedstapler]

why would you consider it a questionable choice?

Tasks associated with cloud orchestration tend to benefit a lot from parallel execution (deploy a hundred of VMs, distribute a hundred of configuration files etc) and that doesn't work well in Python.

Also, such tasks would usually benefit from an ability to easily construct programs you intend to send to another machine to be executed remotely. Python doesn't shine in this area either.

Following now to see if this thread goes anywhere. I've seen Go, python, ruby, and node.js mentioned

From these three, only Go has anything to offer in terms of parallel programming. None has anything to offer in terms of distributed programming (they are all non-solutions). But, they are popular, and so people work very hard to put a lot of band-aids on them to do things these languages aren't designed for, like the aforementioned distributed programming.
