> Mesos is inevitably fading as a legacy platform. Because of Chronos? This is a bizarre thing to say. Mesos actually works extremely well. Whenever I ask the why kube over Mesos question, I never get a good answer. I think because people just don’t know Mesos. Also it wasn’t made by google.

Chronos is just an example. There're many bugs in Mesos that don't get fixed for months/years. Mesos core is legacy (pre 11) C++ code nobody wants to maintain.

    Go is nice. I like it a lot. It's very readable, it reduces the number of good ways you can do something to usually just one, it's fast, fat binaries are awesome, great concurrency primitives, etc...

    There's something to be said about how the code is written. I've seen easy to read C++ and hard to read go (I found go's built in http server source code to be a tough read) and vice versa. In Mesos we strive to write very readable code and so I would hope that despite being modern C++, it is approachable for an uninitiated reader.

  Please don’t spread FUD when you have no clue what you are talking about. Mesos core is certainly not legacy and has been on C++11 for a long time/is very well maintained and has a large active development community. In case a bug has fell through the cracks; kindly reach out on the user mailing list and I am reasonably confident you would get a response. Disclaimer: Apache Mesos committer/PMC

  Mesos developer here. This ^ is BS. Sorry for being direct.

Or perhaps you do get good answers but you choose to forget them, because they don't quite suit your situation.

  I'd be interested to hear if you have one. I'm serious, I really just want to understand better, not trying to be controversial. Also, "it's not written in go" doesn't count, although I do like go a lot.
