gollark: I wanted a hyperapp-like state management thing with no view for skynet (it's a long story...) so I made this, because Javascript microlibraries are trendy.```javascriptconst R = require("ramda")module.exports = (initialState, actions, context = {}, expose) => { let state = initialState const wired = R.map(action => (...args) => { const result = action(...args)(state, actions, context) if (typeof result === "object") { state = R.merge(state, result) } }, actions) if ("init" in wired) { wired.init() } if (expose) { return R.pick(expose, wired) } else { return wired }}```
gollark: Er, how do I uninvert it?
gollark: It's to help users by emphasising the idiomatic bottom-up approach involving making programs from small composable functions.
gollark: Ours is upside-down, though.
gollark: I found an upside-down mappings table somewhere, which ought to help.
