This is great stuff, will need time to read it and digest. I feel that CRDTs are something that should have been invented much earlier than 2011. Formalizing the conversation around what the base level assumptions are that are necessary to build these systems is really exciting. I have a conceptual understanding of the implications of distributing state and coordination of changes on that state, but it’s so much easier for us all to get things right when there’s best practices and understanding around these concepts. It’s kind of like how Raft made an easy to understand and include consensus library, or Yjs the same for CRDTs, or libsodium makes it easy(er) to do security correctly. It helps us develop the native units of computing for distributed systems, in the “geographically distinct edge computing sense” and not in the “a bunch of nodes with fast interconnects” sense, where offline is common and coordination has major performance implications to UIs.
