That was fantastic! Do you know what happened with her ios project?

Whilst working on Ios, I started work on a theoretical result which became known as Flexible Paxos[1]. Unfortunately, I never had time to go back to working on Ios. Maybe someday.

I'm a huge fan of your videos. Do you have a spec for ios? I'd love to give a crack at it in erlang/elixir.

The part I found non-obvious is how to snapshot the unbounded vectors of immutable registers, which is a requirement for any real system. But I never gave it a whole lot of thought either.

To snapshot, I either need to find an epoch such that no older epoch could ever have relevant information for the current node, or I need the nodes to agree on a snapshot. Both seem complicated.

This was a very good talk. Thanks for sharing!
