I've been building with electric for several months now and it's hands down incredible! Why? I think most importantly because it allows for functional composition across the network (client/server–distributed systems more generally) while also ensuring payloads are as small as possible (only what functions in each env access) which translates to FAST.

IMO this is a paradigm shift similar to GC. No one wants to manage their garbage. No one wants to manage the network. It's grunt work. Let the compiler take care of it.

I've naively rewritten a re-frame (react/redux in js) app that started getting prohibitively slow due to a bunch of deserialization on the client in electric and the performance is outstanding! TBH I'm taking a break from additional UI work on the app to do research because I realized that with electric I can build something much more amazing than I thought possible before.

Caveat: the future will not be served on a silver platter. it's early days and there are some quirks
