Presentation author here. I should have taken this down before it popped up on HN or elsewhere. The video of this presentation is worth watching, because it's tongue-in-cheek through-out. But the slides are not worth reading, otherwise people take it seriously like it's happening here now. Cycle isn't the solution to everything, it's just one guy's ongoing experiment.
The slides read great, and the concepts are important. It's something I'm personally intrigued by[1]. Very interested in Cycle and your experiments. Thanks!
I find that Reagent http://reagent-project.github.io/ addresses many of the issues. For example, all components can be described as simple data structures. Components communicate via atoms that notify components that their state changes. This means that two components retain control over their state and can decide how they wish to react to the change in the atom.
