So let me get this straight. You need to go through all this code in 2017:

...in order to replicate dispatchEvent and addEventListener?

Looking at some of these examples/techniques reminds me of the "Enterprise FizzBuzz" that we used to make fun of... except now no one is laughing and it's a serious technique. The magic Redux strings are were I draw the line. Absolutely not.

You don't need redux for a hello world app. Don't use redux for hello world tier apps..

Seriously, when your "hello world" example is 150 lines of totally non-DRY code littered with constants and conditionals ... I feel bad for people trying to learn this style of web dev. It's ill-suited to the vast majority of use cases out there today.

The problem is that "async" and events are very hard to learn . If you understand those you are a top 5% engineer, witch is kinda sad.
