This is excellent news if it can actually be enforced.

Author here - yes, Failsafe-go definitely took some inspiration from Polly, but it also borrows ideas from the Failsafe JVM library [1]. Polly and Failsafe influenced each other back and forth over the years.

Author here - I do get this critique, and of course API design is subjective, but there was a rationale behind the design choices. Putting each policy in its own package allowed the API to be slightly more concise. And having the API use a generic to represent a function's result type allowed different parts of the API to be independent and composable while still ensuring that result types align. A bit more on that here:

There are some (imperfect) workarounds, ex: https://github.com/jhalterman/typetools

I would love to learn how Bob approached interviewing, if you've ever up to writing this up!

While I didn't know Bob personally, he did he an impact on me.
Bob was the first person I looked up to as an open source engineer early in my career. I studied his code closely, and learned a lot from the way he was able to distill complex problems into beautifully crafted APIs. Those learnings, along with some of his principles of software design, shaped my own work, including in open source, to this day. When Bob went on to great success I was not surprised in the least. He was a great engineer and deserved to still be with us.

Atomix has a Jepsen test suite[1], which while not perfect, has helped fix the bugs that existed in the Raft implementation.

"For ILock, the lock is not mutually exclusive under split brain. However it can still be useful as an advisory lock."
Why use a lock that isn't safe when there are other alternatives?
