I totally agree. The thing that's drawing me to Spacetime is that it blends the processing model of actors and the data model of relational databases really neatly. Data comes in, do something with it, store your state in a principled

Leading questions, I'm afraid. Yes, equality is still broken, maps are broken (and in new & interesting ways in EMCAScript 6), and the language is occasionally whitespace-sensitive. JavaScript was hastily designed, has never recove
