There is something I did not understand in the presentation, if anybody can help ? How does he go from Functional Programming with FRP, Rx(Can't address rendering) and CSP(Can't address rendering) to Persistent data structures as the solution to build user interfaces ? Thanks a lot for your answers.
Pure Functional languages don't allow you to change a variable. You have to create a new variable. React reacts to the new variable by updating a tiny part of the DOM

David always blows my mind. Too many things to understand and explore.
This guy never fails to amaze me. Beautiful insights.

did Sean Grove and zenrise presentation get recorded at clojure west? it is mentioned at 24:00 of this video.
and ppl laughed when i wanted to use Erlang for GUIs...
awesome
lost me at "javascript was written for non-experts" ... yeah, a fully fledged functional language with algolish syntax is "for non-experts" ...
+Emil Nicolaie Perhinschi What you said doesn't contradict what he said, but you seem to think it does.
Functions are first class in JS. But that is only 1 piece that makes a language purely functional.
