Exactly and the functional way is harder for humans to grok

That’s fair and as someone who has that same frustration with it I realized Redux might not be the best example precisely for this reason. I’d argue though that the problem here is the premature abstraction of encapsulating state in actions/reducers/memoizers. This sort of thing would be way more natural in an ECS framework.

Functional purist here (mostly Elm), and I have very few problems that arise from the paradigm. Also fewer bugs than pretty much any software I use or deal with.
