Happy New Year all! I wrote a beginners guide to Elm for Redux Devs. I hope it’s useful! Please share with your Redux buddies 🙂 I’ll be writing more in the series, so feedback is appreciated.

This is great! 🙂
It’s really clear and well written, and does a good job of highlighting the differences. I’m glad you addressed the React community’s “Redux is an anti-pattern” sentiment - you’re clearly familiar with what’s going on in both communities 👌
One small bit of feedback: in the Redux examples `state` is a number, but in the Elm examples `model` is a record containing a `count` attribute. This feels a little inconsistent - perhaps the Elm model should simply be of type `Int`, or alternatively the Redux state should be an object? The current approach necessitates using record-update syntax in the Elm code (but object spreading isn’t needed in the equivalent JavaScript). This makes the Elm example look a little more complex than the JavaScript one.

Fantastic point, I’ll iron that out. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
