Thank you for looking at it! But I do need to correct you, it is not using LWW semantics. To be clear, LWW isn't possible in a decentralized system because "last" is different for every peer. Only a centralized system can have a "last" because it has an objective place to measure last from. GUN is using a deterministic merge function, not LWW.

Academia - I agree with you! Good words, sir. I was just wanting people to know that it does exist in code land as well, because often times academic designs aren't. So I think it is important to highlight when they are available.
