Show HN: A Functional and Reactive Framework for Node Back-Ends
Hey all,
I couldn't find a framework that embraces FRP/RxJS for Node yet, like we have Cycle.js for the front-end [1]. Thus, I've been toying with the idea of working out what this could look like myself for a while. The result is Molen:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/molen https://www.npmjs.com/package/molen
The main goal of this project is to find out whether it makes sense to give Observables such a central role in Node applications and, if so, what API would be most comfortable. So far, I think it has potential, but I'd like to invite everyone who is enthusiastic about FRP or RxJS to give it a look and perhaps even a try, and to let me know what you think of the current API.
(And to pre-empt some criticism: when I use the term FRP I refer to reactive programming using functional methods, not DCTP. [3])
