[ale] OT: computing

[Ed Cashin]

A crazy idea if it's just for fun:

Run my Go-based distributed Lamport Bakery implementation, make the nodes
send a message to a single host on entering and exiting the critical
section, and then check that no such messages from interleave between
participants!  Now *that's* fun!

For even more fun, if you discover interleaving, try changing the map to a
linked list, so that the iterations always go in string-compare order in
the list of hosts.
