React’s render function could know when to call itself, removing the meatball in the middle of many flux apps (I can elaborate on this more in the comments).
Object.observe is dead. Long live ES6 Proxies.

I would love for you to elaborate on this point. Could you give an example of what you mean by “the meatball”?
Like, would we have a proxy that intercepts every object that is created and takes care of the setState?
The dirty checking use case makes a ton of sense, but I’m not quite getting it with regard to React. I almost imagine that React would simply use a Proxy to create its virtual DOM, but that could be extremely naïve. ^___^
