I'd ask:

It seems there are a lot of implementations of Raft, few of which are entirely complete (CoreOS's etcd seems to be the best). Perhaps this is the downside of the emphasis on ease of implementation, vs creating 'golden libraries'. Which implementations does he think are the best in each language?

PS What is the meetup?

Cool, thanks for the question!

We're hosting in SF if you can make it: http://www.meetup.com/Sourcegraph-Hacker-Meetup/events/22119...

For context, Raft is the consensus algorithm that powers awesome distributed systems like Docker, CoreOS, Kubernetes, Consul, and more!

FYI, there's no Raft in Docker (AFAIK), and CoreOS and Kubernetes both have Raft via etcd.

Whoops, I must have heard that wrong. I thought Swarm uses it. +1 for the clarification.
