You may be interested in going through "A General Theory of Reactivity"[0] from Kris Kowal, creator of the q promise library. It discusses relationships between streams, promises, iterators and generators (although the streams t

While I am currently trying to teach myself Haskell for exactly this reason (understand the "real big picture" in FP), I don't know if there is much harm in starting the journey by exploring some FP concepts in languages one

You can indeed use transducers in asynchronous contexts. In fact, that is what intrigues me most about the abstraction. Transducers are defined such that you can abstract the context of input, output and iteration and focus on the transfor

There is also Transducers Explained [1] if you are familiar with JavaScript. (Shameless plug in the hope it may be helpful to someone) [1]: http://simplectic.com/blog/2014/transducers-explained-1/

For another take on Reactive Programming from Erik Meijer, check out "Duality and the End of Reactive" [1] (video). I watched it just last night and found it very thought provoking (so much that I stole some of the concepts to cre

In regards to Bacon.js, tel had a very interesting response discussing transducers in relation to FRP/Reactive Programming in another thread [1]. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8447046

Thanks, that explains a lot. Very interesting indeed.

Very interesting. I certainly have some reading to do. Can you explain a little more the notion discrete values and sampling rates and how that applies to stream processing? I assume that it applies to sampling values of a process over ti

[Edit]: change "form of FRP" to "form of reactive programming" as I'm not sure I know the true notion of "FRP" based on tel's response. You could probably say that this library implements a form of re

[Edit]: explain step function and memo when mentioning map. A transducer is composable algorithmic transformation, that is independent of input and output sources and the process of iteration [1]. The threading macro `-->` reorders execu

Transducers allow the abstraction of algorithmic transformations independent from the input and output, and even the process of iteration. Whereas lodash operates on arrays and objects calculating intermediate results, transducers simply de

A year or two ago I created a very similar language [1] in collaboration with my kids, then aged 8 and 10. They had a lot of fun writing their own stories and "telling computers what to do". The oldest has since moved on to writ
