So it's not necessarily not having interruptible animations, it's more all
the code that you'll need to manage them.
In elm-style-animation you can just start a new animation and interruptions
are handled automatically.
When you have description and state split, you have to juggle switching out
the animationDescription at the right time.
view model =
animate animationDescription model.animationState
becomes the following when you have multiple possible animation
descriptions. Lets say we have model.animId to keep track of what
description is running so we can switch between them.
view model =
let
myAnimationDescription = lookup model.animId
in
animate animationDescription model.animationState
Easy peasy.
What about when you want to have a delay and then an interruption, you have
to keep track of the delay and switching out animationDescription when the
interruption occurs. Great, we can do that.
You also have to implement logic that handles what happens when multiple
delayed interruptions are queued up. So now you have a queue of animation
interruptions to manage. Ok then.
Basically all of this is totally writable code...it's just that that's a
large part of the built in functionality of the elm-style-animation
library. Why write all that code if a library handles it out of the box?
