  • Haskell, JS, and WebDev?
    3 projects | /r/haskell | 12 Jan 2023
    As I grew up on a Macintosh, I was always interested in graphical user interfaces. In my free time, I'm currently working on refreshing my reactive-banana library so that it will hopefully work well with the upcoming JavaScript backend. (The library relies on a few non-trivial garbage collector features, which were not implemented in GHCJS a decade ago. Essentially, I ended up with a program that gave different results, depending on whether it was compiled with GHC native or with GHCJS. 😅)
  • Any haskell-like languages with native FRP?
    1 project | /r/haskell | 12 Mar 2022
    Another FRP implementation that I think is quite simple is reactive-banana. Heinrich recently refactored the module hierarchy to stratify it based on low-level, mid-level and high-level abstractions: https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana/tree/master/reactive-banana/src/Reactive/Banana/Prim
  • Applicatives should usually implement Semigroup and Monoid

    I agree! Having foldMap be available in a monadic context is a big win - here's an example of me asking for it in reactive-banana, along with a motivating example - https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana/issues/222. Library authors, please consider adding these instances - your users will thank you!
  • How to prevent a deadlock in reactive-banana with event-switching? (Exception: thread blocked indefinitely in an MVar operation)
    2 projects | /r/haskell | 1 Aug 2021
    There are some examples that also use event-switching, like https://github.com/HeinrichApfelmus/reactive-banana/blob/master/reactive-banana-wx/src/BarTab.hs , which also seems to use execute. They use <$ though instead of <$>:

What are some alternatives?

When comparing reactive-banana and reflex-dom you can also consider the following projects:

DefendTheKing - A simple multiplayer RTS game

reflex-animation

rhine - Haskell Functional Reactive Programming framework with type-level clocks

reflex - Interactive programs without callbacks or side-effects. Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) uses composable events and time-varying values to describe interactive systems as pure functions. Just like other pure functional code, functional reactive code is easier to get right on the first try, maintain, and reuse.

reactive-banana-sdl2 - reactive banana to sdl2 bindings

reflex-dom-contrib

dunai - Classic FRP, Arrowized FRP, Reactive Programming, and Stream Programming, all via Monadic Stream Functions

AFSM - Arrowized functional state machines

yampa-glut - Yampa adapter for GLUT

reflex-fsnotify - Watch files and directories for changes using a functional-reactive interface!

netwire - FRP library
