> In order to keep the feedback loop fast Clerk keeps a dependency graph of all forms and vars in a notebook to figure out what changed between runs on a notebook and only runs those.

This sounds interesting. Is it essentially an abstraction where to the programmer it seems like the whole notebook runs again for every change? Almost similar to how React makes it seem to the programmer that they are regenerating the entire page?



That's exactly it, yeah. It looks like a hot reload on save, but it does only the minimum calculation required.
