I'm not sure about the semantics of ' match f(state, event) -> state'. Care to explain?

I'm guessing it's "figure out which ones of events apply to state, then apply it."

match is how you progress through the collection of events - f(events)

in some systems it may even be more complex than just match by type (see erlang/haskell)
