  Alan Kay's TeaTime does specify atomic broadcast, which is
  definitely analogous to transaction commit.

  The problem with this system -- as with so many other of the
  distributed stores that have come out of the OO world -- is
  that it's all about communication *just for the language* (in
  this case, Squeak Smalltalk).

  The sense I didn't finish presenting is just for synchronizing
  byte logs. You can put anything you want in the logs -- Apache
  logs, diffs (making the system basically into Git), SQL
  statements (allowing you to control database replicas),
  anything at all. After seeing the harmful effect of platform
  lock-in on the fortunes of Haskell, I hardly want to promote
  it myself :)
