Evolving the Visual Programming Environment with React
summary
A working prototype called Combine runs in the browser and wires React components, Redux, Immutable, nuite, rxjs and drag drop into a visual programming environment that updates live as values change. Nodes hold a pure implementation function and an optional React component that captures side effects, enabling composition, webworker offload and lazy reconciliation of computation. Fuzzy search instantiates wrappers (examples: a weather app, websocket ticker, canvas drawing) and Flow/OCaml tooling informs port typing. The demo works as a prototype, not a shipped product.
