The pippet resource implements faster integration of Puppet resources
in mgmt at runtime, by piping synchronization commands to a Puppet
process that keeps running alongside mgmt. This avoids huge overhead
through launching a Puppet process for each operation on a resource
that is delegated to Puppet.
This is an initial implementation of the mgmt language. It is a
declarative (immutable) functional, reactive, domain specific
programming language. It is intended to be a language that is:
* safe
* powerful
* easy to reason about
With these properties, we hope this language, and the mgmt engine will
allow you to model the real-time systems that you'd like to automate.
This also includes a number of other associated changes. Sorry for the
large size of this patch.
