This reminds me of cozy cloud's rewrite from node.js to go (https://github.com/cozy/cozy-stack ); this seems to be a rewrite from php to go, as well as re-architecturing it:
https://github.com/owncloud/ocis
Pydio also rewrote itself from php to go with pydio cells: https://github.com/pydio/cells
> Most rewrites fails because the team rewriting is not the team that did the initial development.
Looking at https://github.com/owncloud/core/graphs/contributors, most of the initial core contributors contribute now to Nextcloud instead.
I am interested in seeing how the rewrite affects end-users. Currently, it seems to be mainly focused on File Sync and I don't see things such as calendar or contacts management. (they totally could appear in the future though)
I'd assume that limiting the scope of components, makes a rewrite also easier. Nextcloud for example has a ton of hooks that allow you to write apps to customize the behaviour (want users to sign the ToS before downloading a share? Should be doable etc.). When you leave these out, implementing new things just got a whole lot easier :)
