FWIW, I'm the current Redux maintainer, and that is an absolutely horrible and unfair description of how Redux was created. Elm was _an_ influence on Redux, but there were many other influences as well. Dan Abramov's prior experience did include some VB (possibly VB.NET, I think), but also a lot of actual JS. See the actual "History of Redux" and "Prior Art" docs pages, and a couple of my blog posts, for an accurate description of the influences that led to Redux's creation: - https://redux.js.org/understanding/history-and-design/history-of-redux https://redux.js.org/understanding/history-and-design/histor... - https://redux.js.org/understanding/history-and-design/prior-art https://redux.js.org/understanding/history-and-design/prior-... - https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-tao-of-redux-part-1/ https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-ta... https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-tao-of-redux-part-2/ https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-ta...
