So not a great example for Go's supremacy. ZK is using Paxos and Etcd is using Raft. It's difficult to compare languages in this case as you will compare consensus algorithms mostly. > Also with GraalVM you can equally support low memory, fast startup use cases. How is GraalVM performance this days? Last time I've checked[1] it was a lot slower than JIT. 1. https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

ZooKeeper uses a custom atomic broadcast protocol, Zab, not Paxos: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/ZOOKEEPER/Zab+vs...

(Atomic broadcast can be reduced to consensus, but frames the problem differently.)
