What are your thoughts on the translator pattern for child-parent communication?

Thanks for the example. I usually consider all that to be UI-adjacent so that’s why I didn’t consider it to be a non-UI example.

In terms of performance, it is going to be fine, since the network call is always going to take a lot longer to complete anyway.

I’m not worried about performance. In my experience, the dispatch pattern seems to do fine for UI work as well. I forgot to mention that I used this pattern in:

• dwayne/elm-2048 for touch control. Nobody complained about performance .
• dwayne/elm-debouncer for debouncing and throttling. See the trailing edge demo. In fact, dispatch is central to the UX of the API.
