It was probably the algorithm that cemented my love of computer science, it's such an elegant solution to a problem and so simple once you understand it.
It looks like SWIM scales better than Raft. Are there well-known production systems that use it?
RSA.
He recently updated his implementation. Is very fun to read his notes on his implementation. In particular, he discusses things he had wrong.
If you like poor JavaScript implementations, I can post mine again.
As basic as it is, and completely uninventive, I've always loved Dijkstra's algorithm. It was probably the algorithm that cemented my love of computer science, it's such an elegant solution to a problem and so simple once you understand it.
One of those algorithms where you go "Shit so obvious and also so completely genius that I could never have thought of it"
Also, the internet as we know it would not work without it
