Journal entry for November 4, 2023

Long time no write! I’ve been continuing to explore Reflex’ implementation. I’ve got it quite short now and I think I understand all parts, except why the extra-laziness of the buildIncremental=/=buildDynamic functions are needed. Hopefully I can figure that out by working through a failing test.

My plan now is to delete the last of the optimizations I can find (which might only be the use of “height” to save on graph traversal), and then write about how to go from zero to Reflex Spider.
