Functional Reactive Programming
summary
A Ruby FRP implementation named frappuccino gem arrives as working code: streams, map/inject operators, and a button example that increments and decrements a counter running on JRuby + Shoes, updating the UI live so pushes show 2 then 6 as expected. The gem ships with no unit tests but a suite of acceptance tests. Examples reuse bacon.js ideas, handle mixed event streams, and actually run — not just slides and promises.
