First class reactivity would be extremely useful - I've thought the same thoughts as you around how reactivity is only partially solved with the current generation of UI libraries (or moreso with RxJS, but the syntax is full of baggage) so I wish you every success with solving it more comprehensively.

Thanks!
I have heard of Eiffel though I don't know much about it. I am honestly surprised this concept hasn't been explored more, given how long it appears to have been around.
Your idea of having functions that don't have effects and procs that don't return, reminds me of https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Command%E2%80%93query_separa... - so there's some prior work there for reassurance and reference.
