+//! This package provides a simple implementation of conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs)
+//!
+//! CRDTs are a type of data structures that do not require coordination. In other words, we can
+//! edit them in parallel, we will always find a way to merge it.
+//!
+//! A general example is a counter. Its initial value is 0. Alice and Bob get a copy of the
+//! counter. Alice does +1 on her copy, she reads 1. Bob does +3 on his copy, he reads 3. Now,
+//! it is easy to merge their counters, order does not count: we always get 4.
+//!
+//! Learn more about CRDT [on Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conflict-free_replicated_data_type)
