Lost to the sands of time. Rumor is that someone wanted to add metric variables at "/vars" but it already existed, so "/varz" was born. Everything else cargo-culted that convention.

I wonder which came first? healthz, varz or statusz?

I understood it was varz. I recall knowing about varz as far back as 2005-ish, I think.

According to a comment by Craig Silverstein on an internal blog post, statusz dates back to 1998. The CL description matches, though the diff is gone.
