Yeah, i agree with most of that, particularly the utility of having your projections be pure functions. You can go a really long way on ES by doing on-demand projections (with or without snapshots as you describe). However, I stand by what I said earlier in that you don't query streams—though whether you subscribe as a live projection or request the entire stream (or perhaps the entire stream from version number X onward, to be used with snapshots) is definitely a YMMV kind of question.
