I'm a simple man. I just want to embed a state machine in my objects. I want to let it know when an event occurs. I want it to let me know when an event occurs. Sigh..

Found xstates desire too control everything made a simple embedding use case really awkward. The hoops to jump through for good typescript support while breaking the config down into reusable components...

Really wanted to like xstates but it felt like it was trying to own the entire app and was sacrificing usability for some version of academic purity. Also, feels like a huge marketing effort is under way to over fit it as a solution to any problem containing the word "state"; ie as a React state management solution..
