With normal Smalltalk code, I would explore the system using senders, implementors, inspectors— gradually rebuilding my understanding. Here, that breaks down. The matching syntax lives inside strings, invisible to standard navigation tools. No code completion. No refactorings. No help from the environment.
I want to pause on that for a moment, because it’s important. Composition lets us combine primitive CRDTs into more complex ones. When it’s time to merge, all the parent does is pass slices of incoming state to the appropriate child’s merge function. We can nest this process as many times as we want; each complex CRDT passing ever-smaller slices of state down to the next level, until we finally hit a primitive CRDT that performs the actual merge.

Theoretically, native apps can integrate with OS on a deeper level. This sounds nice, but what does that mean in practice? There are almost no good interoperable file formats; everything is locked inside individual apps, most services moved to the web, and OSes dropped the ball for making a good shared baseline. You can integrate with OS-provided calendar, but you can’t do it with web calendar. Well, you can, of course, but it’s easier on the web; native doesn’t help with it at all.
