functional reactive programming for UIs, specifically browser applications

[Dustin Getz]

(link dump. what resources would you recommend? im not entirely sure what the state of art is. this came up in several talks at Clojure Conj 2012, looks to be the future)

• FRP in clojurescript using FlapJax as a library - Alan Dipert (presented at Clojure Conj 2012)
  
• thing sort of like FRP - webfui, pure functional dom manipulation for clojurescript - Conrad Barski (presented at Clojure Conj 2012): 
• intro FRP reading : 'Escape from Callback Hell Callbacks are the modern goto' (reddit) (hackernews)
• FRP for ClojureScript UIs, mailing list discussion
• reactive-banana - FRP haskell UI library that i don't understand
• haskell - FRP in 3d gaming simulations
• how is this related to behavioral programming

Great question! I've been wanting to learn more about FRP but never found the time. Some of those links are great but I'm not sure how I'd actually use that in real F# code. Is anyone using FRP in production?

Cheers,

Jon.

Did you look into Elm?

Bye,

Elm looks interesting enough to set aside time for

Yes, I'm quite interested in Elm.

I have 2 browsers on my Asus Android tablet. The Elm examples freeze the pre-installed browser, but work on the tablet's Chrome browser. Still the example pages are not entirely tablet friendly. (If the contents of the code panel extend to the right past being visible there is no slider available.)

I hope to make the time to do a small project integrating Elm and F#. If I do I will notify this group.

I'm also looking at C FRP. and I like what I see.
