A Functional and Reactive Framework for Node Back-Ends

Hacker News

Hey all, I couldn't find a framework that embraces FRP/RxJS for Node yet, like we have Cycle.js for the front-end [1]. Thus, I've been toying with the idea of working out what this could look like myself for a while. The result is Molen: https://www.npmjs.com/package/molen The main goal of this project is to find out whether it makes sense to give Observables such a central role in Node applications and, if so, what API would be most comfortable. So far, I think it has potential, but I'd like to invite everyone who is enthusiastic about FRP or RxJS to give it a look and perhaps even a try, and to let me know what you think of the current API. (And to pre-empt some criticism: when I use the term FRP I refer to reactive programming using functional methods, not DCTP. [3]) [1] https://cycle.js.org/ [2] https://github.com/Vinnl/molen-example-event-sourcing/ (it does not actually have anything to do with event sourcing yet, sorry) [3] https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5875929/specification-fo...
