Yeah, especially if you combine that idea with Flow/TypeScript or Reason. In fact that's why Redux isn't really used in Reason very much, with algorithmic data types, exhaustive pattern matching and all the power of OCaml you don't need it! I enjoy the simplicity of it so much that I've now entirely adopted Elm -- type safety, super simple but powerful, and completely based on uni directional data flow with a compiler that is the most helpful I've ever used all wrapped up in the same State -> View function hierarchy that I adore in React.
