This small project is a simulator of a toy distributed system that employs the vector clock timestamps to order events.

It implements a ProcessPool struct that provides straightforward API for defining a scenario for interactions between these processes. The processes themselves, for simplicity of implementation, are not OS-level processes, but rather GO routines that communicate via Go's built-in channels instead of pipes.

Clone the reposity and inside the root of the repository call

$ go run .

This will execute two example scenarios inside the main function.
