The merkle tree is persisted, and updating it is only log(n). You only have to "hash 2n elements" once, and then incrementally maintain it. It's negligible overhead for free log(n) diffing.

it’s definitely not an exact solution, but i’ve been thinking about ways prolly trees could fit into CRDT systems. they essentially give you efficient peer-to-peer entry-wise diffs, so could be good for identifying conflicts after-the-fact.

I've been using it with React for a couple months now. In my experience it's been a little awkward but overall fairly usable. It seems like it would be easy to write a wrapper for.
