Across Time and Space: Building Explorative UIs Using a Many-Worlds Interpretation of State
The functional approach to state management in the frontend was first
enabled by React, pioneered by the likes of om.next, Redux, and Elm,
and has ushered in a golden era in web development. It is captured by
the two signatures view :: DB -> HTML and mutate :: DB -> Tx ->
DB. What might happen when we start working with more than one world,
i.e. when we replace the notion of mutate with that of solve :: DB ->
Tx -> [DB]? Using Clojure and Rust, we explore these ideas in the
context of 3DF, a stream processing system based on differential
dataflows.
