The most valuable values
summary
Argues that persistent immutable containers (Immer) make architecture simpler and concurrent access lockfree, shows a C++ implementation using Immer and a small framework lager built on boost asio plus std::variant and rvalue references, demonstrates a text editor Ewig that handles gigabyte files and includes a time‑travel debugger, explains reducers (update(model, action) → model), shows effects modeled as delayed functions, and reports the approach works in practice.
