You’re correct. I have learned something new:
> Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.
> You might think that Kafka would be using queue data structure internally. It’s not true. Kafka uses a “log” data structure. It is a persistent data structure which allows only appends, no editing, no deletion. In detail, we will cover this some other day.
