Snippet from Wikipedia: Puppet (software)

Puppet is a software configuration management tool developed by Puppet Inc., which is owned by Perforce, which is owned in turn by private equity firms. Puppet is used to manage stages of the IT infrastructure lifecycle.

Puppet uses an open-core model; its free-software version was released under version 2 of the GNU General Public License (GPL) until version 2.7.0, and later releases use the Apache License, while Puppet Enterprise uses a proprietary license.

Puppet and Puppet Enterprise operate on multiple Unix-like systems (including Linux, Solaris, BSD, Mac OS X, AIX, HP-UX) and has Microsoft Windows support. Puppet itself is written in Ruby. Facter, Puppet’s cross-platform system profiling library, is written in C++. Puppet Server and Puppet DB are written in Clojure.

Puppet is written in Ruby. (So is Chef).

From Luke Kanies, Puppet creator:

“I was a sysadmin by trade and had mostly developed in perl, but when I tried to write the prototype I had in mind, I couldn’t get the class relationships I wanted in perl. I tried Python, because this was around 2003 and Python was the next new thing and everyone was saying how great it is, but I just can’t seem to write in Python at all. A friend had said he’d heard Ruby was cool, so I gave it a try, and in four hours I went from never having seen a line of it to having a working prototype. I haven’t looked back since then, and haven’t regretted the choice.” Fair Use Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16727224/why-do-puppet-and-chef-use-ruby
