Surprised to see no discussion of other data structures like dicts/maps, or arrays of arbitrary type. Hopefully they'd be a straightforward extension. IME, apps need collaborative data structures more often than they need pure collaborative text editing.

The motivating examples (update validation, partial loading, higher-level operations) are interesting, but I don't see a strong case that the reason Yjs etc. lack these features is the underlying CRDT implementation, as opposed to these features being intrinsically difficult to build.
