Was RGA ever considered for webRTC? #3

I'd argue this is one of the (if not thee) strongest CRDT implementatins out there!

Neverthelss, was curious if you had considered using webRTC as the backbone for RGA? Started exploring sending midi-signals over this same socket and opened up the can of curiosity whether webRTC would be faster? At the moment it looks like the message via websockets from peer to server to peer is ~100ms, which is of course super fast.. but in terms of midi latency, requires testing webRTC. Besides there being more browser support for Websockets, and RGA (as I understand it) using the central server for handling the syncing.. just wanted to ask your experience/thoughts on that route. I don't recall you touching the topic in your talk on this.
