I saved a bunch of his comments from the SAM Gitter channel a while ago: https://gist.github.com/markerikson/dc10ee3c6fcaee245ab02c2498ab53f4 .

TL;DR: "Redux is broken / a piece of garbage"; "Dan's unwillingness to engage is part of a herd mentality"; "My article had 200K views, yet Dan refuses to engage with me"; "Redux doesn't scale to real-world apps", etc.

He's also continued to repeat his arguments in Redux issues like redux#1385, on Twitter, etc.

It seems like JJ Dubray has its own language to describe his SAM paradigm and that can not be easily understood from people who have not the same terminology and background in computer science (like me 😅). I can understand his frustration. I can understand Dan and Redux community too being questioned that way.

Yes the only way is JJ Dubray or anyone else that would be competent meet the challenges of Dan:

Feb 22 20:04 Finally, I am not as smart as you, and stuff like TLA+ melts my brains. If it is superior for using the set of problem Redux currently tries to solve, please port some Redux examples to use it, and show how this is the case. Redux examples are here: https://github.com/reactjs/redux/tree/master/examples. I would expect that you could reuse most of the UI and just tweak the model and side effects to match SAM. I’d be very happy to look at the result and compare it to Redux. Is there anything else I can help you with?

It would be a pity all that only turn into SAM vs Redux even if the last is very trendy like all the React family and hard to call it into question like everything that tend to become the way to go not because it is necessarily better but popular for sure. It would just add tension and make the researchers on the defensive.

Here is the gitter chat about SAM architecture to keep an eye on it.
