Flux Architecture: React with Redux

To me, Redux is more an architectural pattern than a library. It simplifies (and limits) Flux architecture to single Store per application.

Benefits

1. Performance,
2. Determinism,
3. Isomorphism,
4. Extensibility (middleware API),
5. Functional programming (state/logic separation, function composition).
