@mikethompson: thanks for the links. Yolk looks pretty awesome, but one of the big draws to redux was the hot reloading (figwheel-like development in JS). I think for now I will just deal with the clunky async story (https://github.com/gaearon/redux-thunk), but I really think the ideal world would be event handling in a queue like re-frame. I'm not sure I understand how/why promise chains, nested callbacks and synchronous dispatch are any better for state consistency and replayability (time travelling debugger) than a queue would be.

@mikethompson: I think you are mistaken about yolk’s use of React. It uses Virtual DOM and RxJS

@gabe: yes, you're right. I'm a bit puzzled about that. I knew it used RxJS but I was sure it used Rect. I wonder what alternative I'm getting mixed up with.
