Sadly, 'reactive' -- like OOP -- seems to be one of those words that gets reinterpreted to meaninglessness. The definition I'm most familiar with, from the Reactive Manifesto,[0] seems like it would fit Go's channels just fine... but anything that puts Go and Erlang and Node.js in the same box might be too broad to be useful.

Maybe I'm missing something but that manifesto doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with reactive programming, except that maybe you could use reactive programming to help build "reactive applications".
