  Also, I never fully grokked Differential Dataflow but I get DBSP so I would love an explanation of how Differential Dataflow differs from DBSP.

  Love this project!

  Since "Differential Dataflow" has a specific meaning though and this isn't it, I wonder if a different title wouldn't be better?

  "DBSP for the masses" presumes someone already knows what DBSP is so that doesn't work.

  What about "Incremental Dataflow for the masses" or "Incremental Dataflow in Python"?

  Electric Clojure v3 also implements differential dataflow. [0]

  This seems to make the mistake of identifying a vector with a stream.
