Likewise with git. There's the "top-level events" that you see (commits). But even when you're doing 'unsafe' operations, you're working with the lower-level reflog events.
Right. The hard part is already done. Which makes it infuriating that it's all "internal". Every serious RDBMS already contains an implementation of an event-sourcing system, but you're not allowed to actually use it.
The WAL is an event log, and when you squint at its internal architecture, you’ll see plenty of overlap with distributed event sourcing.
