> I’m a “true believer” in CRDTs

Don't make the same mistake as the Google Wave team. Collaborative editing is a great intellectual challenge to work on, but in reality users don't care much about documents that auto-update in real time. In fact, it can be annoying.



That's like the main feature of Google Docs and people use it all the time.


Most of the time they don't use it for the realtime aspect of it, they use it to easily share documents.


I think you're typical-minding here. The realtime aspect is used all the time by many many people.


Parent was actually a part of the team doing the core engine for Wave, so in that case it's more like he never dropped his belief in it.


You're replying to someone who worked on Wave.
