Hi,

I am new to elixir, does elixir have any advantages to apply the function reactive programming.

Thanks

Elixir is built on top of Actors which are part of functional reactive programming. After all, your actors are reacting to messages all the time.

We also have a Stream module which provides a way to lazily apply functions which is also seen in many reactive functional programming tools. However, currently there is no built-in support to "connect" the actors with those lazy functions. But the pieces are there if someone want to explore more of FRP.

And if anyone else is interested on the topic, you may find this interesting: https://www.coursera.org/course/reactive
