Lightning talk proposal for the Reactive 2016 Conference. Here's a handy retweet link

If you want to hear this talk, or if you just want to support me, please star ⭐ the Gist!

When I started writing React apps, I approached components as if they were “just the V in MVC!” Seriously, we’ve all heard it.

I have found this to be an inferior way of thinking about and building React applications. It makes people treat React as a drop-in replacement for something like a Backbone or Angular 1.x View. In other words, people treat it like a glorified template system with partials and don’t harness the power of its functional paradigms.

This talk is about a functional way to write and conceptualize entire React applications.

	def push(state, symbol, cdf_func, prec):
	cdf_low, cdf_high = cdf_func(symbol)
	freq = cdf_high - cdf_low
	return prec*(state // freq) + (state % freq) + cdf_low

	def pop(state, icdf_func, cdf_func, prec):
	cdf_value = state % prec
	symbol, cdf_low, cdf_high = icdf_func(cdf_value)
	freq = cdf_high - cdf_low
	return symbol, freq*(state // prec) + cdf_value - cdf_low

	// Just before switching jobs:
	// Add one of these.
	// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.

	// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
	// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
	// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
