  I said this in another comment, but similarly to this, check out Redux Toolkit (https://redux-toolkit.js.org), the `slices` feature changed my view on Redux entirely. Basically you can have a per-feature slice of functionality rather than having actions, reducers, and constants spread around your code. It's analogous to what hooks did, encapsulating similar functionality.

  I'm a Redux maintainer. As I said over on Reddit when this was posted:

  The biggest issue is that it goes directly against the principles I listed in the Redux Style Guide [0], particularly:

  - put as much logic as possible in reducers [1]

  - reducers should own the state shape [2]

  - model actions as "events", not "setters" [3]

  Also, Dan pointed out early on in Redux's development that "cursor"-style approaches to state updates are not how he intended people to use Redux [4].

  Will it run? Sure. Is it something I'd actually recommend? Definitely not, and especially given the existence of our official Redux Toolkit package [5] and the React-Redux hooks API [6].

  Won't using string paths like lodash makes it hard to use this library with typescript?

  Considering how verbose the current UX of Redux is, this needs to be merged into mainline React. Are there any significant performance overhead? This is a really great library, the ergonomics look amazing and the documentation is just gorgeous.

  Looks similar to Recoil (https://recoiljs.org/). How does it differ?

  Looks great. Is there any convenient way to persist data?
