"Data laced with history" (2018) [1] is very relevant here. Interestingly, that extensive post obsessively vivisects RON 1.0 (Replicated Object Notation [2] as of 2017) which was based on columnar compression techniques Automerge recently implemented (53:24 in the talk).

Columnar formats have their upsides and downsides, though.

It's worth noting that you are the author of RON :)

... and working hard to release the new version. Hearing the fuzzer buzzing as we speak...

Are there changes coming to RON that aren't currently mentioned on http://replicated.cc? Any clues as to what they might be?

[gritzko → archagon]

I think, the new RON oplog is the biggest change.

Oo, it sounds like you have some interesting thoughts. Could you elaborate?
