Learning Paxos: What's a proposer? What's an acceptor? What's a learner? Why is everything Greek?Learning Raft: Wow, this is so easy even the ancient Greeks could have come up with this!

@reiver Yeah, part of the reason Paxos is so hard to understand is that it was originally designed for just achieving consensus for a single value. But for it to be practically useful, you have to extend it to multi-Paxos which there are many different tricky ways of doing.
