Functional and Reactive Jetpack for Javascript – Dmytrii Shchadei / Front-Trends 2015
While working on my WebRTC enabled side project, I noticed that many asynchronous processes which can be easily explained are really tough to implement using traditional imperative programming with object structuring. Intuitively we understand what it means. It means that we need to define new abstractions to effectively deal with asynchrony. In this talk, I want to share with you new kinds of glue for structuring our programs, which I learned while taking bits of two other programming paradigms—functional and reactive—and using them in javascript.
