Now that's an excellent point, I agree. However, at its heart, Kubernetes does not even have that many distributed features. It's a rather classic master-slave architecture that shells out a lot of distributed primitives to etcd (

With all due respect, I wouldn't consider Golang any less opinionated than Haskell, just into a completely different direction. Whether or not that's a good thing: I don't know.
