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.
