I'm always curious when people build new js libraries with new terms. Did you consider just using the terms of Design Patterns like Command instead of Action and Observer pattern instead of Reducer?

There were numerous bikeshed debates about naming early on in Redux's development, and the decision was made to keep using Flux-related terminology because that's what folks at the time would be familiar with: - https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/137 https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/137 - https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/351 https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/351 - https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/891 https://github.com/reduxjs/redux/issues/891

  Your first link actually shows Dan deciding that the flux-based "store" name should be changed to the JS-based "reducers". Any reason why Dan isn't contributing to your new special toolkit, by the way?

    Dan stopped actively maintaining Redux in the summer of 2016, when he handed the keys to myself and Tim Dorr. This coincided with him working full-time on React. He's occasionally dropped by to comment in an issue and leave an opinion (such as when he suggested we drop `useActions` from the React-Redux hooks alpha), but he no longer does any work around Redux.
