Hello -- rqlite author here. It was definitely interesting to code this. It was 50% to meet a need, 50% to better understand Raft consensus in general, and Ben Johnson's go-raft implementation in particular (https://github.com/goraft/raft https://github.com/goraft/raft). As it happens Ben and I now work together, on InfluxDB (http://influxdb.com/ http://influxdb.com/), which has a new Raft implementation at its core. Definitely fun.
