Is there any alternative to Jepsen that does not involve writing spaghetti Clojure code?

Writing Clojure without spaghetti isn't too hard, and definitely more practical than waiting for a Jepsen alternative to come along.

The Jepsen author gave a great talk on all the performance engineering work that has gone into it, Jepsen is near enough an entire DBMS in its own right https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUdhyAdYfpA

I have found that some projects are using Porcupine as an alternative.

I just really couldn’t justify Clojure in my project and personally if I want Lisp, I know where to find it.
