What is Weaselab?

Weaselab is mostly just a domain name, but it's also where former FoundationDB contributor Andrew Noyes publishes ideas and projects.

The first such project is conflict-set, which is a "A data structure for optimistic concurrency control on ranges of bitwise-lexicographically-ordered keys." It's intended to replace the version-augmented Skip List in FoundationDB, and synthetic benchmarks show it could improver resolver throughput by double or more.
