Andrew Stone is also ex-Basho ;)

are there any sample applications available on GitHub?

It doesn't look like you have. I watched the demo video "GUN Survives a Primary Fault" and the conflicting updates were resolved with a LWW semantic, which is non-deterministic.

(EDIT: I read some docs, and it looks conflicts are resolved by choosing the highest lexical order of the value. So, apologies for the assumption. I assumed LWW because the BBBBBB update was seen last after the fault was resolved. Nonetheless, I think it is interesting you're treating the browser as a peer in the system, and not simply a client)

> this is now available to developers - with or without the academic side.

I don't understand this attitude. Working closely with academics ought to be what industry strives for. They take the time to research, formalize theorems and write proofs to advance the current state of the art in Computer Science. This research helps move industry forward. A tight relationship between industry and academia is mutually beneficial, for what should be obvious reasons.

I doubt the author has read even half of the papers he listed.

hi, ex-basho here. disappointed by antirez's continued, harmful anti-intellectualism. just curious, what exactly is a non-CA database? kthxbai

managing the # of actors, safely dealing with tombstones and reducing space complexity are just a few reasons why one might want CRDTs on the server side.

CRDTs can either be commutative or convergent; much of industry and academia have settled on the opaque "conflict-free" instead of CmRDT/CvRDT for simplicity
