In my weird layman predictions of the future, I feel like the "material age" is going to be our next new horizon, along with genetics. Graphene, memristors, strange ceramics, transparent aluminum, aerogel, etc. Lots of interestin

(Disclaimer: Not an expert.. just sharing something I read somewhere) I think FoundationDB does something really interesting with this problem. When you make changes, you do it via a transaction. But all the client reads are using the pre
