Delta State vs Op CRDT

[jsimnz]

This implementation of the MerkleCRDT paper uses a delta state based ORSet CRDT, however the MerkleCRDT paper states that you could use a delta state CRDT, or an Op based CRDT, since the casual ordering property required for op based is solved when structured as a MerkleDAG.

Just wondering if there was a specific reason you went with the delta state implementation.

Thanks

I found the semantics of delta-states are slightly nicer (i.e. batching is just merging several deltas). Other than that, in practice they are almost the same.

Great, thanks for the quick response. Make sense!
