The three most recent HN discussions on CRDTs are all worth perusing. [1] is an excellent tutorial that assumes no initial familiarity with CRDTs or the math that underpins them. It walks you through both the formalisms and the implementation, which is pretty key to understanding why making real-world CRDTs flexible enough to handle things like rich text editing is hard. [2] is a talk that goes more in-depth on the hard parts [3] goes deeper on OT vs. CRDT It's worth noting that many of the CRDT discussions focus on collaborative text editing. That's a really hard problem. CRDTs are (and have been for some time) a useful primitive for building distributed systems.
