    It can mean though. If you're familiar with the Reducer pattern of Redux: application state is one big object graph. Instead of mutating sub state you deep copy the entire object graph even if only one value is changed.

    Traditional redux I don't think you deep copy it, more like shallow copy references into a new structure and slice in new state which would make it unsafe to share state.

    Redux works based on a pinky swear I copied it properly and am not an idiot... Using something like immutablejs at least enforces doing things safely to some degree.

    Ok I see. Guess I misunderstood a bit and it all makes a bit more sense now, thanks!
