Our VLDB vision paper dropped today. We describe how the gap between convergent writes and convergent reads in CRDTs is a "foot gun" and suggest monotone queries as a lens. We also propose many ways database researchers can help! If you want to chat about it just DM me!

Programming languages and database research seem to be colliding lately. E.g. CRDTs, Datalog, Egglog, monotonicity, algebraic data models. Are these communities exchanging ideas more and more or am I just in a small bubble of people publishing in both 😵‍💫

Found this nice quote by Danny Kahneman that I think really rings true for CS research as well. “I’ve always felt ideas were a dime a dozen. If you had one that didn’t work out, you should not fight too hard to save it, just go find another.”

Grateful every day for the VLDB monthly submission model. It makes for much more productive research because you can actually serialize deadlines for concurrent projects and resubmissions. Every time I submit to a non-db conference there is some timing collision.

How hard would it be to write papers assuming only what's taught in undergrad CS courses? Add ~3 pages to the page limit for background? It's much easier for readers that know to skip the background than readers who don't to figure out what they're missing and where to find it.

@MadhavJivrajani I haven’t found any good resources on it really. If you find any, let me know. Would love a good textbook on the topic. I’m hoping to integrate the LTL view of liveness and safety with the CALM work more.
