It’s definitely not functional reactive programming, which needs to expose events and the history of events as first-order primitives, and usually a library of operations over the history of events.
If you simplify out the event stream primitive from FRP, what you are left with is not FRP.
- hbbio 2y agoYes, as stated in the doc: "cells is a simplified Functional & Reactive (but not strictly FRP) library". There were enough true FRP libraries around not to implement another one. We think cells is a sweet spot where we get most of the benefits of functional programming and reactive programming while simplifying the concepts from the original paper from Elliott and Hudak.
