This. About 2 years ago, I started to notice the incredible usefulness of event sourcing and its applicability at various layers of the stack. From the React/Flux frontend paradigm, to the "everything is a stream" philosophy of Unix systems, to Erlang actors, to event sourcing for application backends, to databases like Datomic and CouchDB. This is why I'm so excited about Elm right now - it explicitly puts this at the core of every application, and gives you a really nice language and type system for encoding your domain logic and manipulating data. Time to write a blog post, I guess.
