Current CRDTs are not a magical solution to collaborative software. They have their own “way” of handling merge conflicts. For example it may merge English words in non sensical ways. Without review, there is no way to safely have automatic collaborative editing without side effects.
- infogulch 5y agoCRDTs have exposed to us that the desirable conflict resolution strategies are very deeply connected to the underlying semantics of the representation, not its syntax. I expect that it would produce much better results on top of parsed ASTs (for example) than raw strings. Combining CRDTs with tree-sitter would be interesting.
