Kubernetes mostly displaced tools written in Ruby (Puppet, Chef, Vagrant) or Python (Ansible, Fabric?). While a lot of older datastores are written in C++, new ones that were started post-2000ish tended to be written in Java or similar.
Kuberentes has nothing to do with Ruby / Python from your example it's far more complex and needs performance, what you described are not what k8s is doing.
Kubernetes is the equivalent of Borg /Omega at Google which is written in C++.

It's what Kubernetes is being used for in most places where I've seen it used.

Maybe, but most Kubernetes users aren't Google and weren't using those things.
