This couldn't have come at a better time - I was actually looking for a durable message-queue written in Go. Is there any way to read more about the architecture of this system? I find systems like these to be quite fascinating but taking the time to go through the code can sometimes be very time-consuming. It would be awesome if more projects have a writeup as detailed as cockroachdb[0]!

Aside: There used to be a site sometime back which used to distribute compiled binaries of Go code for all platforms? Is it still up any chance?
