Does a statebus implementation require "eval"? #47

The current codebase has some eval (and dynamically evaluated CoffeeScript). I started playing with the code to see if I could remove the need for this. Is that misguided — is there no way around it?

No no, it doesn't require coffeescript or eval. Those are just a set of handy routines in client.js that you can use if you want. But you can totally ignore them, and in fact you can completely ignore client.js if you want. That stuff is all built on the inner statebus.js code.

You can think of client.js and server.js as "a collection of common ways to use statebus.js." The client.js code shows you how to integrate it really nicely with React and even Coffeescript over a network, but you can ignore it if you want to get lower-level.

Good sentence to add to the quickstart, maybe?
