I suspect it's the domain of sysadmins with problems to solve - who make a significant portion of Puppet's user base. I have found most sysadmins cut code in higher level languages - Perl, Python, Ruby rather than C/C++. To get good buy in from them then it's going to be hard if you write the tool in a lower level language. I look at the pool of cfengine and Nagios developers versus the pool of users as a (perhaps valid?) example.
