I think you're projecting. You wrote

> Go still has not yielded a correct implementation of Raft or Paxos while there are dozens in Java, C++, and Rust.

That says that there are correct (i.e., bug-free) implementations in those languages. The GP noted

> "we’ve found bugs in every Raft implementation we’ve tested, ..."

which says that there aren't any correct ones. You then wrote

> I didn't say other languages don't have buggy Raft/Paxos implementations

which is a strawman. The issue is whether there are correct implementations. That there are buggy ones is irrelevant.

(FWIW I have no dog in this fight ... I'm just reading here.)

The intersection of the set of Raft libraries Antithesis tested and all Raft libraries in existence do not fully overlap. I personally have worked on multiple proprietary ones that Antithesis would not have access to.
