What specific concerns do you have?

The only uses of "currying" I can think of are writing middleware, which is a very rare use case, and the connect API, which has basically been replaced by useSelector.

Looking at your linked lib, you show this example:

import { createModel } from '@captaincodeman/rdx'

export const counter = createModel({
  state: 0,
  reducers: {
    add(state, value: number) {
      return state + number
    }
  }
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

RTK's createSlice is effectively identical to that:

const counterSlice = createSlice({
  name: 'counter',
  initialState: 0,
  reducers: {
    add(state, action) {
      return state + action.payload;
    }
  }
})
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

and RTK is written in TS and designed for a great TS usage experience:

redux.js.org/tutorials/typescript-...

The only immediate difference I see is that RTK's action creators and reducers are still standalone functions, rather than being attached to a store instance.
