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. https://failsafe.dev

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

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 com

Atomix has a Jepsen test suite[1], which while not perfect, has helped fix the bugs that existed in the Raft implementation. 1: https://github.com/atomix/atomix-jepsen

"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?

For anyone wondering if there is a set of Hazelcast like data structures and primitives that actually have safe, strong consistency (based on Raft consensus), check out Atomix: http://atomix.io/atomix/

Good example of where random retry delays would be valuable. I filed this as a feature to add for the next release: https://github.com/jhalterman/failsafe/issues/39

Good question. Someone asked that recently on Github - here's a quick comparison: https://github.com/jhalterman/failsafe/wiki/Comparisons#fail...

Author here: fully agree. Blindly retrying an operation any failed operation could lead to cascading failures or system overload, which is what circuit breakers are intended to avoid. Generally, it's just good to think about which fail

Author here, Failsafe does support exponential backoffs [1]: retryPolicy.withBackoff(1, 30, TimeUnit.SECONDS); and if you want to specify the exponent [2]: retryPolicy.withBackoff(1, 30, TimeUnit.SECONDS, 1.5); As for which fa

1 CPU still pegged on firefox. But otherwise, Reason looks very cool. A nice mashup of technologies to create something that certainly looks more useful than the status quo. I hope this takes off, but I think the biggest challenge nowadays,

Incredible, but you are correct. Pegs 1 CPU in FF and while it loads, it barely scrolls.

This, usually. It's fair to point out that very specialized clocks, such as Google uses with Spanner, can allow you to achieve some consistency without coordination/locks, but for pretty much anyone else the rule you stated very m

I'm not sure that merely checking the result of some set of operations - whether a mutex is held by the expected process - tells you very much about the validity of how that mutex was obtained (assuming interleaving requests and such).

> is certainly not sufficient to assume correctness of an implementation Indeed. This is where tools like Jepsen and good fuzz testing can help.
