Ah, so it is more like LiveScript than Elm?

At the moment, the libs I'm using the most are Axios, Redux and Moment, Leaflet and D3.

Does an Imba app even need something like Redux (or Flux?) or does it have an own state-mechanism?

Yes, more like LiveScript / CoffeeScript. I don't think apps written in Imba really need anything like Redux/Flux, nor any other framework for that matter, since the way you define tags etc structures your code pretty well. We still don't have an official recommended way to do routing, as we're still experimenting with different approaches in real apps to see what sticks. You can check out the full source for the website at https://github.com/somebee/imba.io. It is not documented at all yet, but at least it gives some impression.
