You may be interested in going through "A General Theory of Reactivity"[0] from Kris Kowal, creator of the q promise library. It discusses relationships between streams, promises, …

While I am currently trying to teach myself Haskell for exactly this reason (understand the "real big picture" in FP), I don't know if there is much harm in starting the journey by…

You can indeed use transducers in asynchronous contexts. In fact, that is what intrigues me most about the abstraction. Transducers are defined such that you can abstract the conte…

There is also Transducers Explained [1] if you are familiar with JavaScript. (Shameless plug in the hope it may be helpful to someone) [1]: http://simplectic.com/blog/2014/transduc…

For another take on Reactive Programming from Erik Meijer, check out "Duality and the End of Reactive" [1] (video). I watched it just last night and found it very thought provoking…

In regards to Bacon.js, tel had a very interesting response discussing transducers in relation to FRP/Reactive Programming in another thread [1]. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/…

Thanks, that explains a lot. Very interesting indeed.

Very interesting. I certainly have some reading to do. Can you explain a little more the notion discrete values and sampling rates and how that applies to stream processing? I assu…

[Edit]: change "form of FRP" to "form of reactive programming" as I'm not sure I know the true notion of "FRP" based on tel's response. You could probably say that this library imp…

[Edit]: explain step function and memo when mentioning map. A transducer is composable algorithmic transformation, that is independent of input and output sources and the process o…

Transducers allow the abstraction of algorithmic transformations independent from the input and output, and even the process of iteration. Whereas lodash operates on arrays and obj…
