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.

ZK uses the ZAB protocol, which is similar but not the same as Paxos.
