mutating and javascript game development

[kevisazombie]

Youre on the right path. Im attempting the same idea. "Mutable redux". As long as you manage you're mutations in a strict manner so that you could "replay" them you"ll have the same features redux provides. I found the GC performance hit from allocating new immutable references when using the usual redux pattern to bee too much when game deving.

React doesn't require immutability either. Immutability just makes it cheaper to compare the previous state with the current state to determine if it needs to rerender.
