React v0.13.0 Beta 1

In my opinion, the current way of doing things with reactive mechanisms really doesn't make it clear what the program is doing. There's lots of things happening at the same time, and also glitches can occur (variables rapidly changing after eachother), and also non-optimal efficiency (things being recomputed unnecessarily).

If my program just gets re-evaluated in an optimal way (without any other side-effects) then that would make my life much simpler.

The research I linked to already states that it can be done. So I was wondering if there are any Javascript implementations yet out there.

SAC is quite different from reactive programming in the sense that it is not, well, reactive or interactive. SAC deals with incremental recomputation on change, whereas most reactive programming systems out their don't support incremental recomputation (maybe some DOM diffing and that's about it).

Check out Adapton though, which is trying to bridge the gap.

Very interesting! Thanks.

I just hope there will be a browser-implementation soon :)
