I'm beginning to learn flux design pattern and I feel like flux isn't much different from MVC. Controllers are combined into one dispatcher, but with nested components can't the same be achieved, where the main component is the dispatcher. So what makes flux so special?
I've been looking at these three examples and in the stackoverflow link, theres a flux chart where the model directly updates the view instead of going to the controller but why does that make it special*?
MVC vs. Flux ? Bidirectional vs. Unidirectional?
