Lib.rs

Jarl may be Just Another Raft Library, but it makes a point to be literally just another Raft library. There's no I/O, no standard library, no dependencies, no internal allocations, no async... literally just a state machine for managing consensus of a "virtual" cell.

The library is a single Rust file. As simple as it gets.

All Raft log state is managed in-memory.

The goal is to eventually have wrapping libraries which implement various transport integrations for using "off-the-shelf" (e.g. gRPC, OpenAPI, etc.) in an actual networked context. If we're feeling cheeky, we might even implement some unexpected IPC mechanisms (Raft over SMS anyone? What about Raft over S3? Serverless Raft‽).
