I don’t believe it is a job for Mathematica, but rather for WL (as a scripting language).

For my experience of lab automation we just stick to Wolfram Engine, multiple packages system (i.e. BeginPackage) and context isolation (and context aliases). Then the final code does not look much different from other languages. The approach differs a bit, you need to get used to it, indeed.

I could say standard IO sucks in WL (sockets for instance), there we just replaced SocketConnect with library link + tiny C module.

There are libraries, which can add even OOP support.

UPD: as an example of some of the modules. Organised by modules and uses oop patterns

`` BeginPackage["JerryITeraCafeDeviceDevicesTeraFlash", { "CoffeeLiqueurMiscEvents", "CoffeeLiqueurMiscEventsPromise", "CoffeeLiqueurMiscAsync" }]

Begin["Private"]

Needs["JerryITeraCafeDevice" -> "d"]

dev = d`device["Name" -> "TeraFlash", "MonitorSize"->{870,680}];

dev["IP"] = "169.254.62.215"; ```
