> I look at mobx I get reminded of.. Looking like, and being like are two different things :) Mobx reminds people (rightfully) of Meteor, Knockout, Angular etc, but when working wi…

See https://github.com/mobxjs/mobx/issues/681#issuecomment-26234... (that thread started only yesterday, so it isn't very long yet), but yes, MobX is in use in large complex produc…

yep that was the glitch I was referring to indeed :)

The idea is very much like knockout and meteor, but the reactivity implementation is completely different. First all it is generic and not designed for just the UI. MobX is complet…

In MobX it actually doesn't matter whether the events happen inside or outside the component. Components themselves are part of the nervous system. They react to changing observabl…

I think it is quite different, at least if I read the docs correctly mercury is much closer to Redux / OM then MobX + React. MobX doesn't work with cursors and your tree doesn't ha…

Sure, the promise of VDoms is performance. And vDOM has improved DOM performance a lot. But also not nearly enough to support the complexity of most real life applications that han…

Exactly. Integrating many apps is something we do as well. We have a large application that handles roughly 500 different domain classes (just scan through https://apidocs.mendix.c…

"With mutable data structures, it is trivial to guarantee that there is only one version of a certain domain object in memory." That statement refers to the fact that you loose (au…

Object.observe was a bad idea. Even when it was available in chrome I didn't consider using it. However, the ES6 proposal for object proxies will hopefully become generally availab…

We use both; local component state as long as nobody else (might) be interested (this usually the case for generic components that are not application specific, such as page contro…
