Holy fuck why is redux so over engineered. How did everyone let it get this far.

Isn't everything in JS over engineered?

Well, no. The whole concept is very simple. And in contract to older flux implementations it's very easy.

🤔

I'd say it's different way of thinking and therefore you're going for overengineered solutions. The way is simpler that it seems: don't mutate the state, just have transformation algorithms to change it in a predictable and consistent way (i.e. same result for the same paramenters)

Once you've got that clear, you'll find it quite interesting ;)
