Elm at Prezi - Hackdot

Re:Elm at Prezi by jlatt on Wednesday May 29, 2013 @02:46PM (#5788208)

I was really impressed by elm, but I strongly prefer working with a library that provides some of the features without transpiling. If anyone else is interested, I'm looking for some help with my project: https://github.com/jlatt/frp.js

Or even better, Bacon.js

Thanks for the heads up!

Do you have time to explain why bacon is better than Reactive Extensions, and thus the only frp library for JavaScript that you chose to link to? I don't have too much experience with frp in general (primarily just the Reactive Extensions for .NET), and even less with JavaScript implementations, so I'm not really in a position to begin making the comparison.

Edit: ah, found https://github.com/raimohanska/bacon.js#for-rxjs-users for starters!

It's much simpler for a start - you've got a good chance of being able to read and understand all of the code in an afternoon.
