Sound pretty interesting! We’ve also implemented a DSL on top of React, see Lowdefy [0]

We’ve taken a different approach, we’ve written a pure js engine which computes and manages state based on operator used to express logic, and then have a recursive render loop in react which provives engine with update hooks to it uses to rerender components when it should. That way we can very handle complex state logic and then update with ease all without dealing with passing state up and down.

We still have a few ideas on how to further optimize which will be built in future versions. But already we, and the OS community are building some advanced apps using Lowdefy

I like the sounds of that. Every now and again we look at alternatives to our implementation: it works, so we don’t want to break it, but hic sunt draconis and caveat programmator.

I’ll be checking out that repo, thanks!
