JS vs sparse C++? Cut comments and change coding style and you can easily get close to 500 lines.

One thing I think is worth touching on is the pipelining ability of multi-paxos that is missing when you have a single register with the Synod protocol. For key-value operations, it's not a problem. For a true replicated state machine, this can hinder performance.

In Replicant[1] I added pipelining to ensure Paxos was unlikely to be a bottleneck to replicated state machines. For complex state machines, the state machine becomes CPU bound.

It would still lack "Consistent get operations", "Paxos group changes", be "bound to localhost" and do more than 1 round trip to commit.

What do you mean by pipelining?
