I listed what I like. "Excites" is your word. I guess what I meant by "from scratch" is that they aren't burdened by legacy code, and aren't limited to using the Paxos algorithm. If you look at Deis, for example, it basically outsources a lot of node management to Chef Server, which in my view creates a great deal of technical debt on day one.

You read negative connotations into 'excites'. That wasn't intended. I was just curious, since 'from scratch' can just as well mean 'untested' although I certainly agree that it sometimes is the Right Thing. The reference to Go was another thing that threw me off, since I rarely (admittedly .. sometimes) judge software projects by the language it is written in. Thank you for the answer and some more references.
