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 However, it seems that the later is outdated.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?

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.

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

Interesting one, do you know how this scale as the ID is set on each entry?

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

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.
