Thanks for your feedback. I've just been playing with this stuff and wanted to put it out there despite its warts.

Regarding the scaling issue. Yes. This is definitely a weakness (I actually mention it as a weakness in the last paragraph or so). We're working on a solution for that using redis as a sort of shared memory. But it's just not ready for primetime and I just figured I'd write up what I had going so far.

Regarding recursive updates of nested collections, the "mport" function in the post works well for re-inflating the entire state. But not quite as well for updates, but for this type of thing, I prefer piecemeal updates anyway, so we don't have to send as much data each time.

I'm definitely gonna check out dnode some more as well. Cheers.
