Why valtio?

[with-heart]

Hi!

As the title suggests, just wondering why you decided to use valtio @segunadebayo! Would love to hear the benefits this gave you with zag!

I haven't spent much time playing with it yet but it seems like an interesting library. Convince me to use it more? 😁

Hey @with-heart,

Valtio provided the base-level primitives we need for the machine state management.

• Fine-grained reactivity for subscriptions (using Proxy).
• Ability to simply mutate the context rather than wrapping things in assign(...).
• Support for computed state properties like proxyWithComputed, derive, etc.
• When used with react, you get a useSnapshot hook that automatically optimizes re-renders based on property access.

These are some of the benefits we get from valtio. I think we're pretty flexible with the base library as long as it's able to support these features as well.

Thank you for the detailed explanation!
