Reactive programming

At this point, the preceding functional programming examples should convince any reader that data-driven programming of in-move data in many programming scenarios may achieve a higher performance than imperative programming could ever do.

Reactive programming is the art of programming the propagation of changes. Think of an Excel function =A1+B2. This function will always contain the sum of the two cells; it will never contain a raw (or static) value that represents the sum at a specific time. It will always contain the updated sum of the two cells' values. Anytime the related cells raise a value update event (A1 and A2), the resulting cell will update the sum and show the new value. In C#, a similar behavior is available in ...
