You're misreading what I said. I didn't say other languages don't have buggy Raft/Paxos implementations, just that Go is yet to yield a single correct one.

I think you're projecting. You wrote

> Go still has not yielded a correct implementation of Raft or Paxos while there are dozens in Java, C++, and Rust.

That says that there are correct (i.e., bug-free) implementations in those languages. The GP noted

> "we’ve found bugs in every Raft implementation we’ve tested, ..."

which says that there aren't any correct ones. You then wrote

> I didn't say other languages don't have buggy Raft/Paxos implementations

which is a strawman. The issue is whether there are correct implementations. That there are buggy ones is irrelevant.

(FWIW I have no dog in this fight ... I'm just reading here.)
