  > (..) largescale backbone apps Having built some what large backbone-apps, and then moving on to more mature frameworks, I personally think backbone apps just don't have the correct building blocks to scale. For instance: data bound templates, computed properties, array/object proxies, controllers etc. These things help tremendously with keeping the code maintanable.

  After reading the above article, I can see how Facebook ended up with their current approach, but it seems to me that Flux is a roundabout and possibly inferior way of using state machines to organize application logic and user interface communication. For instance, statements like "The Dispatcher can be made to reject actions while it has not finished processing a previous action." indicate (to me, at least) that Flux could likely be more efficiently coded and used if it were based explicitly on hierarchical state machines.
