For me it used to be like that about 4 years ago - everything was built with puppet (ruby). Now people seem to have moved on to ansible.
Perl is nowhere to be seen. Bash still crops up occasionally.

Yeah, that's definitely true, and it depends on the composition of the shop in question. I see Ansible mostly in smaller shops with simpler needs. I see Chef more often once those needs grow a little bit (granted, I also endorse Chef when asked, because I'd rather have a real programming language to better express my intention--Puppet has the same issue). But I see most of that Ruby outside of the CM, dealing with the billion little glue problems involved in cloud crap. Bash too, of course, for obvious reasons.
Even stuff not written in Ruby invariably ends up with a Ruby DSL around it so mere humans can use it successfully.
