Recommendations for a Paxos consensus protocol implementation in Golang

Raft has quite a few implementation, while paxos seems have none.

Is raft really that simple?

For paxos, this explains it very well (while you are likely to require multi-paxos): https://understandingpaxos.wordpress.com/

For Raft, comparing it with paxos, it is simple, but in general, it isn't a simple protocol, there are several details to take care of.

Edit: There is a great raft implementation in go (https://github.com/etcd-io/etcd).
