Understand what truly functional-reactive code in JavaScript looks like.

Today we have the ability to write fully Functional-Reactive code in JavaScript, using RxJS. However, in our day-to-day life, we often use RxJS alongside other libraries and patterns that make our life easier, but also distance us from pure Functional-Reactive Programming (FRP). What would an app that has been written completely in RxJS, and in-line with the principles of FRP, look like?

In this talk, we will examine such an app – a Pomodoro productivity timer with start and pause functionality – and use it to understand what truly functional-reactive code in JavaScript looks like, and what are the principles that underlie it.

What are the key takeaways from this talk?
- What are the main concepts of Functional-Reactive Programming, and how are they expressed in JavaScript/RxJS code?
- What is the structure of an FRP app, and how is it different from how we usually write code?
- How can we integrate more FRP concepts in our everyday code?
