  • tigerbeetle

    The financial transactions database designed for mission critical safety and performance.

    Also worth mentioning our simulation testing setup: https://github.com/tigerbeetledb/tigerbeetle/blob/b642c04261....

    Everything is fully deterministic, time is externalized, so our simulation can run very fast and explore a lot of random permutations of events (which is quite effective: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322133078_Why_is_ra...).

    This isn’t as thorough as model-checking or proving a formalization of the algorithm, but it has the benefit of working with the real code. It is a bit less real than Jepsen (as we essentially mock all syscalls), but is quite a bit faster.

  • zig

    General-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.

    Yup, I am that matklad. I have thoughts, will put then into a post some time soonish.

    zig-analyzer is great — much further along than I’d expected at this point. Though, I am still curious what the end game IDE support would look. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/3028 is a big component of that.

  • jepsen-tigerbeetle

    A Jepsen Test for TigerBeetle.

    There's an unofficial Jepsen test for TigerBeetle here: https://github.com/nurturenature/jepsen-tigerbeetle. and we've worked with them (nurturenature) to fix some bugs they've found.

    No formal proof at the moment either but it's something we're thinking about.

  • DoubleEntry

    A double-entry accounting system for Ruby applications.

    Roughy `account(id, cached_balance)`, `transaction_lines(src_account, dst_account, amount)`

    This gem does literally billions of dollars worth of financial accounting for various companies at scale: https://github.com/envato/double_entry

    It's dated, the API is a bit messy and needs work, as it was initially written 10+ years ago, but for a web based app I would choose a v2 of it over a non-posgres ( assuming you are using Postgres for your app ) solution.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
