Finally got around to reading this! Super enjoyable, and the concepts remind me a lot of @shadaj.me’s work on hydro.run and distributed stream types. Good abstractions for reasoning about distributed systems as a single program seem…pretty awesome?

Distributed Systems Programming Has Stalled
Over the last decade, we’ve seen great advancements in distributed systems, but the way we program them has seen few fundamental improvements. While we can sometimes abstract away distribution (Spark,...

Excited to share our ICDT 2025 paper on a theoretical framework to connect CRDTs and the CALM Theorem! We formalize the intuitions given in the Keep CALM and CRDT On work about the gap between CRDT guarantees and monotonic queries. arxiv.org/pdf/2502.00222

Everybody need @shadaj.bsky.social! I saw him first programming Scala at a meetup with his dad when he was 7. Since then the whole family presented at scale.bythebay.io and he does some of the coolest stuff in software. Follow the future!:)
