Future of Coding

and master of editors Marijn Havebeke talking about programs as a series of immutable states comes very close to my aspirations &amp; desires,

hmm I haven't dug into it yet myself, but I ran across this idea called "differential dataflow" that seems to be using the right words. I think one of the contributors to this implementatiion was experimenting with extending it to a React-js like system for transparently generating DOM:

Differential dataflow is an iterative, incremental, stream processor basically. The rust version of Eve was based on taking the main idea behind differential dataflow and specializing it for a datalog-ish semantics. It worked very well, though implementing it is extremely unintuitive.

It's really great work. Frank McSherry (the guy who started it) is one of my absolute favorite people in the space. He's wonderfully irreverent :slightly_smiling_face:
