Remember Google Wave?

“I was wrong. CRDTs are the future” (via lobste.rs).

We wanted Wave to replace email. Email is federated. An email thread can span multiple companies and it all just works. And unlike facebook messenger, emails are only be sent to the companies that are CC’ed. If I email my coworker, my email doesn’t leave the building. For Wave to replace email, we needed the same functionality. But how can that work on top of OT?
