Reactive Programming for Ruby & Python

[Jeremy W. Sherman]

Hey!

ReactiveCocoa not doing it for you, because Cocoa? No problem!

## Rx.{Rb,Py}
Microsoft ported their ReactiveExtensions (Rx) library to Ruby and Python:

https://rxrb.codeplex.com/
https://rxpy.codeplex.com/

These should make it easier to follow any documentation written for
ReactiveExtensions, which started as a .NET library implementing
functional reactive programming in that environment.

## Ruby
But you might like a more Ruby-native library. Let me introduce Frappuccino:

You might also enjoy viewing a talk introducing Frappuccino by its author:

## Python
In Python land, I found Trellis, which bills itself as "event-driven
programming" and adopts more of a spreadsheet-cell model to dataflow
programming:

Not sure how "functional" (the F in FRP) it is after a brief glance,
but it's certainly reactive.

(A similar cell-based approach in Clojure is Javelin:

This is some super weird Ruby code for what it's worth.

There's also a RxJava which I may check out.

Steve presented on Frappucino a little at RubyConfIndia and it is super interesting.
