>We call this collection of values the data universe. The data universe is always internally coherent. Once you mutate your state, you can call any function that depends on the mutable state, and that function will see an up-to-date version of the state.
It's a model. Call it a model. This reinvention of standard CS terms is a constant source of cringe in the JS community.
- cookrn 5y agoI’m not sure that’s a fair criticism. Would calling this a model help? That’s such an abstract and overloaded term. Also, I know not everyone can know every open source author, but wycats has been a crucial contributor in the Ruby, Rust, and JS (probably more) ecosystems for over a decade. I doubt he picked the terminology out of naïveté and would guess that he would welcome discussion on the topic if you raised it in the repo.
