So, that&#x27;s sort of true, but sort of not. Dan (author of Redux) has said that he read the Elm Architecture document before creating Redux, and didn&#x27;t fully understand it. But he believes that it did influence the design of Redux.<p>&gt; JAMISON:  So had you played with or heard of ELM beforehand or did you just realize the parallels afterwards?<p>&gt; DAN:  Yeah. There&#x27;s been this, I&#x27;m feeling guilty about it because I had this Twitter exchange with Evan. Evan was a bit uncomfortable with me not mentioning Elm as much as he thought I should. I felt that yeah, he&#x27;s probably right because I read about Elm a few times before actually creating Redux. I&#x27;m not sure if… when you get inspired by something but don&#x27;t fully understand it and later you kind of reproduce it but you don&#x27;t really get this connection and you only get it later. So I think that&#x27;s kind of what happened because I distinctly remember reading about ELM architecture but I was thrown out by the syntax, so I didn&#x27;t fully understand what&#x27;s going on there. Later after some initial iterations of Redux, Andrew Clark actually showed me how it&#x27;s similar to Elm if we changed some things. We did change them.<p>&gt; Yes, I have not actually played with Elm yet. I&#x27;ve seen other people playing with it. I&#x27;ve seen some demos but I have not actually played with it myself. I really want to but I&#x27;m stuck in maintaining and GitHub issues and I can&#x27;t find the time. I don&#x27;t know. Maybe I&#x27;m just afraid it&#x27;s going to be so awesome that I&#x27;ll just try the JavaScript development.<p>Source: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devchat.tv&#x2F;js-jabber&#x2F;179-jsj-redux-and-react-with-dan-abramov" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;devchat.tv&#x2F;js-jabber&#x2F;179-jsj-redux-and-react-with-da...</a>
