More than making coding easier, I think we're trying to give strict structure to code and pair it with a visual metaphor to help manage complexity. There is a learning curve, but we're designing it to stick close to JavaScript.

If we succeed, I imagine that we'll just increase the complexity of the coding that we take on. That's an interesting possibility. I'd like to imagine a new generation of startups with more interesting tech than CRUD.

The strict structure kinda bugs me. I expect situations where a clean solution using higher order functions outside this framework is possible, but if I implement it, I no longer have this clear picture of the system. Or I submit to it, perhaps duplicating code and spreading gnarly business rules on top of what should be "pure" data flow logic.

EDIT: Still, I'm all for experimentation. If they can pull this off, great!
