It is indeed very close to how you would model redux apps. Interesting that you mention that your controllers don't have read access to store(s). That is actually very common with redux-thunk or redux-saga.

Redux does this.

Well that escalated quickly.

What about oCaml/Reason?

oCaml/Reason can compile to JavaScript making it posible to write everything in one very powerfull language. In the near future we can probably also use jsx.

Seems like an improvement over using node and React.

Yes but isn't one of Elixir's strenghts that it scales very well on a single machine? Why do we need the load balancing?

Are there any numbers comparing pre-rendered React versus React communicating with a JSON Api? It seems to put a lot more stress on the server which can neglect the (theoritical) speed improvements

Curious, why would you combine this with Phoenix?

Care to eloborate?

That seems unnecessary. Or did you use (something like) Meteor.js?

But how do you decide to stop sprinkling your JavaScript and go full blow React (serious question)?

In Amsterdam speaking English is well accepted.

Wow no HTTPS, makes you wonder what security measures they did take.

I expected to be a Firebase based app. Seems like a good match.
