Learning Functional Programming in Go

Functional reactive architecture

Functional reactive architecture (FRP) is similar to other architectures in that it embraces many of the FP concepts such as immutable data structures, event streaming and data transformation, but different in that it is a front-end architecture.

Reactive Functional Programming (RFP) incorporates aspects from both Reactive Programming (RP) and Functional Programming (FP).

Let’s look at an example to get a better appreciation for the connection between FRP and FP.

Suppose we have a User Interface (UI) application that sums two numbers:

There is a lot more to RFP (immutable data structures, memoization, state ...
