Was just re-reading this paper [0], where they discuss how they "addressed some familiar limitations of the FRP model" in a research language called KScript. The defining constraint of the STEPS project was to make an entire personal computing system in 20,000 lines.

The limitations discussed in that paper should be fully addressed by a modern FRP framework like Reflex.

The existence of STEPS is actually one of the very few things that keeps me motivated to continue programming - maybe all that complexity isn't so essential after all. :)
