Facebook's Immutable-js

[pasviegas]

Would be possible to use facebook's immutable-js to hold the immutable value?

[Raynos]

That would be possible but then this stops working:

value.val() // => { items: [1,2,3,4], name: '4 numbers'}

Currently reading the value returns a plain javascript data structure.

If you use Immutable-js internally it will return an Immutable-js data structure.

Converting Immutable-js data structures back to javascript data structures defeats the point of using Immutable-js in the first place.

Agree with @Raynos - this would make more sense if immutable data
structures were native to JavaScript, so that .val() returned "plain"
arrays/objects. Hopefully someday soon!

Closing for now, though we'll continue to think about this for the future.
