Points to Ponder

There has been a lot of confusion over terminology within the industry. While reactive programming includes elements of functional programming, it’s debatable whether we can call it “functional reactive programming.” Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) is a precise, mathematically defined programming technique created by computer scientists Conal Elliott and Paul Hudak in 1977. Rx does not conform to FRP’s precise definition or the “continuous time” requirement where values change continuously over time.
