Lies I was told about collaborative editing by Alex Clemmer

You've read the blog posts about "sync engines" and "local first" software. You want that kind of product experience too, so you install some fancy CRDT libraries and expect things to Just Work™. But it's not so simple after all.

Next up Sergei from @nolock-social.bsky.social is telling us about FunctionalScript, a purely functional subset of JS.

One of the conventions is that test.f.js files are tests, and if they export a function it is treated as a test. Super easy to get started!

Sergey is standing by the podium showing VSCode with his functionalscript tests running.
