your maddox aswell ? <| sep |> Same here always . Which is why I ' m so interested in the question . <| sep |> Have you seen how generic the information is ? We ' re looking for two Latina women in a minivan . If this were a genuine kidnapping , I think we would hear something closer to we ' re on the lookout for late 90 s model blue Honda or Nissan minivan or whatever . The lack of specific information leads me to believe it ' s a hoax . <| sep |> I agree that Event Sourcing and CQRS are technically possible to do today , which is why my post uses the phrase kinda impossible The nice properties I ' m asking for are a bonus that I feel is important to have . To use the jQuery vs . React analogy Sure you could update your model state and then rerender your view , before React , and call that reactive programming . But React has a bunch of nice properties and makes your programs shorter and better .
