I've observed that implementing a CRDT system requires blogging about it afterward
- hecturchi 5y agoHehe, or even writing a paper! https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.00107# https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.00107# The link takes you to our Merkle-CRDTs paper, which includes a nice intro to CRDTs in general, so no prior knowledge needed!
- nosianu 5y agoWhat method did you use to determine which/if anyone implementing CRDTs did not write a blog post? Or did you observe that 100% of the people who blogged about CRDTs implemented CRDTs and then wrote a blog post?
- sunny--tech 5y agoI have implemented a CRDT system and have also blogged about it afterwards. So I can confirm this. Joking aside though, CRDTs are still a pretty esoteric space and all the various blog posts came in handy when I was researching how to build my own CRDT. Most of the resources I've seen on CRDTs are from whitepapers and those can be difficult to read if you don't have a math background. I gave a talk at a Papers We Love [1] explicitly because I found the academic papers a big turn off from many people interested in the space.
