Thinking possibly June?
Have you considered https://github.com/coreos/etcd as one of the things to study? Implemented in Go, uses Raft, not a full database but is a great example of a consensus algorithm in production.
I'm interested in learning how to think about eventual consistency from an application level, but everything else here is systems and so it feels absurdly out of place... :-/
