Preface

Dacite: distributed immutable data with content-addressed nodes.

Chapters (Four Layers)

1. Content Stores — immutable content-addressed map, backends, caching.
2. Hash Fusion — fuse primitive and content identity.
3. Values — scalar/seq/map + types.
4. Rooted Stores — mutable root ref, watches, durability, push/sync, GC.

Stop after 1 (persistence), 2 (hashing), 3 (structs), 4 (mutable state + sync).
