How does Svelte solve the reactive state problem that Redux is trying to solve?

Curious - what makes react state a mess? Is it just that there's not much batteries included?

Is the state management problem unique to React? Do you not need to manage state in other libraries, like Angular or Vue or Solid?

Isnt this state based transition what react/redux tries to accomplish ?

You should consider using React with MobX. Similar concepts, but more powerful and mature.

What part of React "state management" do you find indispensable?

devdoomari • Aug 19, 2017 • View on HN

you should try mobx + react for 'local' state management. mobx provides something similar to vue (MVVM), and the amount boilerplate becomes somewhat like vue's

Reminds me of old React codebases that used mobx :')

It's called Mobx, I use it all the time to not have to touch React's stupid API.

As far as I know there's no simple and performant way to have the DOM be a function of the state with existing standards
