Playing with Lasp and CRDTs

It kind of seems like there could be another layer or something on top of that to simplify it even further?

That's a lot of boilerplate to get and set a variable.

hi, I don't want to reply for cmeik (creator of Lasp), but I think eventually Lasp will be its own language.

from the github repo: "Prototype implementation of Lasp in Erlang"

Elixir's reasonably popular these days and it'd be easy to call this from that. The magic is all in the algorithms and communication protocols, I don't see how a different language really helps things too much.

Actually... thinking about it, I would hope that it'd be fairly language neutral if you really wanted it to grow.

Your device, running some Go code that talks to SQLite as well as a server running in Java could still use the same data structures and communication protcols... right?
