  Then I guess I'll add: It's written in C++

    Which one do you feel adds more value to the conversation. Knowing it's written in C++, or knowing it's a fork of an existing project that many might be familiar with? Do you think people are more likely to say, "Hey, this was written in C++. I liked other C++ software so I'm going to try this" or "Hey, it's a fork of moosefs. It had some details I would've liked changed, I'll give this a shot" ?

    I actually was considering to try LizardFS after trying MooseFS, but this made stop. Why would you fork a project and then rewrite it in another language? What does rewriting it in C++ add to the user? It's a giant drawback, because backporting new features from MooseFS is much much harder. If you love C++ that much you would be much better off writing a new solution in C++. This only shows poor motivations for the fork.
