This sounds really really interesting. I don’t suppose you can share more about this?

I’m ok to release the first three (the observability/operability layer, the FoundationDB client, and the distributed systems primitives library) on Github, under the MIT license. I would like to do this properly, the code currently does not have any developer or end user docs, along with a few other nice to haves, so it will probably take a week or so. My Github username is the same as my HN username, and I’ll try and post here again when the release happens. Happy to chat more then.

I’m not expecting much from the comment side of things! But I’ve played with FoundationDB over the last couple of years, and see it as such incredible technology for the enterprise.

The trouble is that as a “foundation”, it’s not immediately useful unless you are Java and can thus consume the record layer.

I also have a huge soft spot for Lisp, so your work here dovetails with two of my favourite things. I hope you get the chance to publish!
