Hi, I tried running the example from https://github.com/CondensationDB/Condensation-java/tree/mas... with the HTTP store from https://condensation.io/servers/php-files/. However, it seems that the later is outdated. Is there a functioning store available?

Hey, can you send us an email? I can connect you to Thomas for the installation of the latest version. It will be a good exercise to guide you through.

What's the story for deletion? Is that done through something like merge(record, delete_token) -> delete_token?

Basically you have a document with all the references to objects, and if you remove the reference the object will be deleted after a certain timeout (you can set it for your specific case).

I find this quite interesting, but do all my development in the C/C++ ecosystem. Is there anything similar there?

http://doc.replicated.cc/%5EWiki/ron.sm

RON's reference implementation is C++. Op based sync, CRDT types inside. RON per se is the notation everything is built around.

It has a bunch of tricks to compress the metadata, yes.

Not yet planned but its definitely something we want to have. we onboard everyone who want to port the code, so I hope someone will come with this idea soon.

May you introduce yourself, please? Cause the accounts look like throwaways. That's weird.

Yes, basically here is Thomas the main author https://viereck.ch/thomas/ and I am working with him since 7 years https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-mouradian/

We used to work without being connected, I got your point we will put a presentation of ourselves in this github page or the website.

Interesting. Would love to try this out, but I generally try to avoid Java for personal side projects. Is the plan to make a Javascript client or a full Javascript port?

Thanks, yes it may start this week from the enthusiasm of a contributor we just met, he begin to help to port it to Typescript/Javascript.
