Silly question: is state management used outside of the frontend world? The last time I developed desktop apps (it was a long time ago) no-one had ever felt the need to remove state from the individual components and add it to a global store.
So, do very complex desktop applications use redux-like state management nowadays?
- eliseumds 6y agoLots of complex applications have always been using state machines, this is not a concept that originated from web front-end development. You can find them in Delphi, Visual Basic, QT, etc.
- Udik 6y agoA state machine is a much more general concept and has many different uses.
- bufferoverflow 6y agoApplications that need to have state, surely have it. Most applications store their state in sessions / memcached / redis / databases. But, of course, some apps must have real time state management that is shared among thousands of users. Think high-traffic low-latency trading engines. Think multiplayer games.
- Udik 6y ago> Applications that need to have state, surely have it. You seem to believe that state is synonymous to "reactive store". Also, sessions/ memcached/ dbs have little to do with application state management.
