MobX does this for JS, in a more generalized way that can be paired with any DOM-update strategy (or other arbitrary side-effects)

"Reactivity" is a common paradigm in the javascript world. There are many libraries to essentially do this or variations on this theme.
There are two key elements in this case:
1) Changes are triggered through regular mutation, not special API calls
2) Reactive dependencies are automatically determined
The combination of these two traits is somewhat unique, and is offered by MobX and (apparently) Beads.
