I've never had my bottlenecks end up being because of Redux, but that could just be me.

I'd love to take a look at a larger project using Recoil though, just to get a sense for how it looks with a relatively complex state setup. My first impression is that it would get messy pretty quick, but I've been wrong many times before :)

Also, I'm not trying to shit all over your project, congrats on rethinking state management. Regardless of how I feel about your library, that's still awesome.

The app in question had thousands of connected components, so that was a huge bottleneck for them. For many apps it doesn't matter.

The app that Recoil was originally extracted from has an extremely complex set of state and interdependent derived processes -- also heavily hooked into and modified by third-party plugins. This type of complexity is exactly what Recoil was designed to handle.

Thanks for your kind words.

That's awesome. Best of luck going forward!
