Do you have an example of where "the ideas don't combine well"? Or where an imperative approach is truly better? In my experience the solution is often to use the appropriate archi…

The goal of the reactive/declarative approach was never to be more performant than imperative code. The goal is to more easily build UI that is performant enough and functions corr…

Well if the cookie comes from a third party it implicitly allows tracking. Also AFAIK the Google Fonts question (is the IP alone already PII, if Google has no way of tying the IP t…

Based on my understanding of the GPDR, this scheme wouldn't be anonymous, if the salt is stored anywhere. Using the salt(s) and the full list of all your users emails, you could fi…
