Unfortunately avoiding streams and using regular assigns is far more likely to expose the user to unacceptable and/or unmanged performance when the data cascades. Regular assigns make even harsher assumptions about the programmer ensuring that the assignes don’t get too big, and if you stick a variable sized assign element in there which preloaded recusrive associations would be your poor users will face a variable if not unpredictable experience. Regular assigns were designed for small variables or simple lists of small variables, or large variables broken down into lists of small or large variables, but the whole variable is processed. But dont worry, I’ll figure out how to trick streams into handling indefinitely recursive structures effectively.
