Redux is not idiomatic JavaScript though. It’s trying to make JavaScript immutable and have adt which it doesn’t. If you use elm, reasonml, rescript, etc this pattern is a lot easier to implement than with JavaScript.

I wasn't readily familiar with the acronym ADT. It's "Algebraic Data Types" for anyone else in the same boat.

In CS it also refers to Abstract Data Types

Yup, it’s beautiful in Elm and makes no sense in JavaScript, which doesn’t need it.
