What's the best way of managing that? I've been envisaging a world in which my application is one single large immutable data-structure containing everything about the current state of the application. The actions and then carried out (maybe via a backend over a websocket as you've described) to make changes to the tree. React then looks after the rendering.
I've looked at Om before. It looks great and I guess probably implements some of the ideas I'm talking about but it's just too far away from what I'm doing. I have some really complex optimised code already and I'm pretty adverse to trying to bend it into a whole new language. Will take another look though to see if there are ideas I can borrow.

Look up "Om/React", might just blow your mind.
