Virtual Consensus in Delos

Given how small it is, & how much bragging there is about how few lines of code engines take to write (Log Structure Protocols in Delos; 2 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29351723 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29351723 ), it should be easy to start getting folks a bit more excited. Conversely, I think one of the interesting things Facebook did around React was talk-the-shit-up out of Flux & how easy & basic it was, while not releasing any code. There were years of letting the idea gestate, various re-implementations, before Facebook finally released their own implementation. Which I recall as being quite small & generally not that significant. But there was already a strong community happening. Works/re-interpretations like Redux or the dozens of other implementations (I'd done some Reflux for example) would not have happened if Facebook had simply dropped the code.
