I try to do my best to follow the trends in JavaScript development and do mostly develop with JavaScript and even I can't keep up with the new terminology these days. When looking at marty.js documentation, I was constantly trying to map the new concepts to the ones I already know about.
Would make sense given Marty is a reference to Marty McFly from Back to the Future; having to do with state management through time and, of course, Flux capacitors.
