So, I didn’t get a chance to post this last night due to being rate limited, but I’ll post it today due to my conviction that Dan Abaramov is dangerous to the JavaScript community:

I appreciate the effort and technical prowess involved, but quite frankly Redux is bad design to begin with. Dan Abramov is a smart guy but does not think clearly enough to be allowed to design APIs.

Not saying MobX or the like are any better, but we need clearer heads approaching this problem with solutions that border on one-liners. We are storing some stuff in a global for Christ sakes, can’t we simplify all of this out of the reducer/observer pattern?

I’m depressed the marketplace of ideas has not jettisoned Dan Abramov’s ideas (the reducer pattern ended up in core React).

We are all better than this.
