Q
Are CRDTs worth the extra complexity over OT algorithms?
A
Despite the fact that almost all applications will have a central server to route transformations through (e.g in an OT algorithm application), OT algorithms don’t work or don’t work well when two clients diverge massively in offline states and then try to merge (at least according to sam willis) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30420967
