Hi Clojurians, Clojure's STM seems great for maintaining consistent state on a single machine with concurrent processes, but what about synchronizing state across multiple computers with higher latency? I've been wondering a lot lately how Google wave works considering all the significant latency problems and asynchronous changes that such a system encounters.
It's probably appropriate that such functionality not be built-in to the clojure language, but I imagine it would be really useful if we had a library that performed synchronization of a clojure collection across multiple PCs. It seems an interesting problem to create a system where multiple PCs converge on the same state of the world, despite asynchronous and perhaps contradictory changes to it arriving at each PC in an unknown order. Are there any brave folk out there implementing some sort of operational transformation (OT) system? Or are Clojurians solving this at another level by using something like Terracotta?
