I'm genuinely sorry that you're angry enough to rant like this. You might want to look into some therapy or something - that kind of anger can't be healthy. In the meantime, we're going to keep working to support our us

Out of curiosity, any specific features of Rematch and Easy-Peasy that you specifically like that aren't covered in Redux Toolkit? I've actually got an RTK issue open asking for ideas and concepts that we can learn from them: htt

A deep clone is _not_ what you want here. A correct immutable update is better described as a "nested shallow clone", where you copy each specific level of nesting from the root down to the value(s) you actually want to change. A

Yes, the entire point of that page is: - You've gone through this whole tutorial sequence and should now understand how to write all this Redux logic "by hand" and why these standard Redux usage patterns exist - Now, here&#x2

It's important to note that there _are_ differences in how `useContext+useReducer` behave vs how (React-)Redux works, especially around when and how components will re-render: - https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2021&#x

Immutable updates in JS have always required making copies of each level of nesting that has to be updated [0]. However, that process is very tedious and error-prone due to writing lots of nested spread operations. Immer effectively does th

FWIW, I completely agree that people should focus on learning React itself first, and then pick up other libraries (like Redux) later, and we specifically make that recommendation in the Redux docs. That's also the kind of advice I wan

You don't _need_ Immer. But: - Writing immutable update logic by hand is really hard to do correctly and hard to read - Accidental mutations have historically been the number one cause of bugs in Redux apps Immer eliminates accidental

I pressed Pete on what he actually meant by that in the replies [0]. Eventually he listed some specific concerns: - The React ecosystem has fragmentation because there's many ways to do things, and he feels someone needs to start narr

To be clear, we now specifically teach that our official Redux Toolkit package is the standard approach for writing Redux logic [0]. RTK uses Immer internally by default [1], and I actually just wrote a brand new "Writing Reducers wit

FWIW, we've got a #redux channel in the Reactiflux Discord where I and a couple other Redux maintainers hang out and answer an ongoing stream of questions. Not sure having specific "office hours" slots would work well for us

Yep, I'm a firm believer in using TS pragmatically. Type the obvious code (React component props, API responses, function arguments), and start by aiming for an "80% sweet spot" of type coverage. Don't get into argumen
