To somebody who knows Erlang, isn't this reinventing the wheel basically?
- jansommer 4y agoCould you elaborate? How do you get CRDT's for free in Erlang?
- thruflo 4y agoErlang is a great language and runtime to build distributed systems in but it doesn’t provide primitives to resolve concurrent overlapping updates. Hence projects like https://www.antidotedb.eu https://www.antidotedb.eu (CRDT database in Erlang)
- recuter 4y agoYes, sorry I should have been less terse: never heard of antidotedb but I figured there is probably a bunch of these projects mature already. I was asking, not stating.
- NavinF 4y agoAFAIK Erlang isn't byzantine fault tolerant, doesn't use CRDTs, and doesn't even have a JSON library in its stdlib. So just from the title you can tell it has nothing to do with the article.
