Just imagining a timeline where Kubernetes was written in Java gives me chills.

If Mesos has managed to be slightly more useful, it would have been a Kubernetes written in C++ situation. Of course in my opinion it being written in C++ was the whole reason it had limited usability so it probably would never be.
