Simplified reactive & functional programming

Speaking on 11:20 at Lifelong Learning Institute

Functional reactive programming brings numerous benefits by abstracting away the complexities of async programming in JS but is still underused due to its complexity for developers. This talk presents a new library named cells that introduces a simplified interface for reactive & functional programming.
