Cycle.js and functional reactive user interfaces

Andre Staltz at ReactiveConf 2015

React's future is going to be more functional, and less OOP. What if that future is already reality? How would it look like? React's foundations are reactive rendering and UI as a pure function of state. These two foundations are reactive programming and functional programming, yet React has a lot of concepts from imperative programming. In this talk we will discover how Cycle.js is purely reactive and functional, and why it's an interesting alternative to React.
