Has anyone used Ballast with Arrow Optics? From what I read in the documentation, it seems like Ballast has quite a bit of boilerplate because of `copy` , which Optics is announced to solve

It's quite intentional that Ballast imposes no restrictions on what can be used for its Inputs, Events, or State objects. Optics would be a great option for reducing the `.copy` boilerplate! The main thing is just that the state object is immutable, but you can use any method you like for actually making the updates. <https://kopyk.at/|Kopykat> is another option I've had my eye on, but haven't tried it yet

If you have the time, I highly encourage you the read the KEEP on value classes :slightly_smiling_face: They are thinking of adding first-class support for deep copy of immutable structures
