Even if so, the "You're misreading what I said" charge was bogus and it would be nice if you admitted that.

Edit:

That's what it says.

> I've already pointed out that is false.

You claimed that, and it's being disputed.

This has veered into bad faith ... I won't comment further.

Further, they can still edit their comment to correct it, but opting not to.

But they are misreading what I said. My original post is clearly about Go. What they wrote is also ambiguous.

What are they implying by citing that? That every language has a Raft implementation with bugs? Yes that's probably accurate because lots of people make Raft implementations for fun and learning. Again, Go does not have a single Raft/Paxos implementation that is rock solid. I have seen many in C++, Java, and Rust that are doing tens of millions of requests per second in production for over a decade.

Is their point that Go is not the only language with this problem? My post already points out the track record is that Go is the problem for writing correct code in highly critical domains.
