You read negative connotations into 'excites'. That wasn't intended.

I was just curious, since 'from scratch' can just as well mean 'untested' although I certainly agree that it sometimes is the Right Thing. The reference to Go was another thing that threw me off, since I rarely (admittedly .. sometimes) judge software projects by the language it is written in.

Thank you for the answer and some more references.
