RE: Interval Tree Clocks - Determining the sequence of events in distributed systems
Hi, @l0k1
Thanks for sharing a little insight into things you're learning and beginning to incorporate into Dawn. Actually, coming across this article in my feed is my first introduction to your Dawn concept, and I'm starting to read things like your terse white paper and your other posts on the topic.
I've been toying with the idea of dipping my toe into blockchain development... Perhaps your project might encourage me to do that? :) We'll see!
😄😇😄
I can definitely recommend surfing the information available out there. Some stuff is really really new, like Freeman's Byzantine Fault Tolerant gossip protocol. This stuff has the potential to really change what is possible with distributed systems.... I have this idea of 'the cloud' being the entire internet, so understanding how such complex webs of interactions can be coordinated is critical to developing better solutions in the future. It's about more than money, just like databases are not just ledgers :)
I appreciate your response and encouragement... :)
I'm in a funny place right now. I've got an embedded systems product that I'm struggling to promote in order to keep the bills paid, but it's not moving fast enough. I've spent a lot of my life coding in C and a wide variety of ASMs, and it's probably time for me to dive in and learn some of the newer network coding languages.
Thanks again, I appreciate your article and encouragement. :D
Go is the best language out there for writing distributed applications. I'm not surprised that almost all the newest protocols already have go implementations... You just make less mistakes by following its idiom.
Thank you, @l0k1, for the recommendation!
I've found https://golang.org and I'll read up on it! :D
IoT stuff is where embedded is moving towards and there is a lot more capability, and you can run Go code on most of these SoC devices for doing sensors and data distribution. The nodes can be a lot smarter than they used to be.
I will have to see if there are Go implementations for the Atmel chips that I am very fond of designing for. That may be a good area for my future focus. Thanks! :D
