The comma operator evaluates left to right and returns the last value. rs-x parses it exactly as a JS engine would — no new syntax, no compiler. Fine-Grained by Default rsx('(trackPrice(price), trackQty(quantity), price * quantity)')(model) // ↑ tracks price ↑ tracks quantity ↑ return value Change Re-runs model.price = 150 trackPrice only model.quantity = 5 trackQty only Both change Both re-run Each segment tracks its own depend
