Or can you tell people, oh, it's a simple script, but you have to install and compile a new language on your OS?!

Can't really go and ask accountant to install Ruby or PHP on their PC :|

If it's really simple tasks: how about bash (i.e. you will send a zip + a .sh file)?

For simpler personal things I've just used bash scripts but problem with it is that I can't share them to Windows users (not sure about Mac)

I think I won't dig into Ansible, at least it seems too much overkill for now.

Haven't ever touched Ruby. If it comes to use Ruby vs Python I'd most likely go with Python

Electron is decent idea too, could build whole toolset for company on top of that with some GUI not just some simple automation scripts..
