It's great work, combining the best of OT and CRDTs.

I've stated before that I think the main thing holding back collaborative text / sequence CRDTs is integration with a production database.
Eg-walker looks interesting because it might lend itself to be integrated into a database because the operations are immutable and only appended. However, to demonstrate the effectiveness of these algorithms library authors (see Yjs, DiamondTypes, etc) build stand-alone data structures (usually specialized search trees) that most databases already provide.
Personally, I've been trying to adapt a Piece Table[1] to be collaborative and stored in Triplit[2] which runs on both client and server and already implements logical clocks but I might see how well I can adapt this algorithm instead!

> While the downside of OT is p2p, the one up side is that you get GIT like history that is super valuable for us especially if we want to build a CDC system.
How trivial would it be, to implement a CDC system from a CRDT. Does anyone know any github repos or any documentation I could refer to? Thanks

Is there a practical implementation yet that supports not just strings, but also lists and maps?
Would be great to see it integrated into yjs / y-crdt.
