Thanks for taking the time to post this here, it's great to read:

Basing our well known tool, on a well known tool (dependency resolution
driven!) was a massive gamble for the project. I only wish we had been able
to implement more of the workflow in a `build` fashion, rather than the
procedural method we have now.

I also learned a few things about the Puppet ecosystem, which is alien to
me (being a Ruby guy, I tend towards Chef, for better or worse)

For anyone interested, there's a post I wrote some time ago about how to
use Capistrano with Chef-Solo (my own most common use-case outside of
deploying Rails and Go apps)
http://lee.hambley.name/2013/06/11/using-capistrano-v3-with-chef.html which
includes some hints on how to speed things up using Rake's built-in
conditional rebuild of outdated targets (users of Make will thank me!)

I think you might enjoy https://harrow.io/ when we launch, it'll be a place
to host your general purpose scripts, and share with your team, my company
has designed and built Harrow with this use-case in mind, although our
stack looks a little different (*ahem* *Chef*) - I'd be happy of the chance
to talk to you about that if you are ever interested.

Thanks again!
