@alandipert i might have another use-case for the idea of passive data in a cell, or similar

or, just being able to have more control over when a cell propagates

playing around with some profiling i'm doing and i think checking equality of datascript dbs can be really slow

i know that's pretty vague

i'll post any more info i come across

thedavidmeister i've been experimenting with strategies along these lines

one option is, allow the user to specify the test function to use for propagation. it doesn't have to be =

could get pretty crazy though

i think that would turn into using cells for events, and by that piont it might have been better to have made an explicit events channel, or what have you
