You mention "Mapping, folding, reducing, flatMapping, filtering, transforming, partitioning, merging, splitting, … Streams is exactly the same as mapping, folding, reducing, flatMapping, filtering, transforming, partitioning, merging, splitting, … collections." That sounds a lot like functional programming. | |

So, we now have two different interpretations of the term RP: FRP is a kind of RP (in the broad sense), as well as RP (in the narrow sense) is a kind of RP (in the broad sense). Both FRP and RP (in the narrow sense) are "cousins". | |
| Apr 28, 2016 at 1:12 | comment | added | Jörg W Mittag | There are two different definitions of "Reactive Programming". One is simply the opposite (or rather dual) of Interactive Programming: programming where you react to the environment instead of you interacting with the environment. Think about this like the term "Iteration". Functional Reactive Programming, Events, Observers, etc. are just different ways of Reactive Programming, just like for loops, while loops, iterators etc. are different ways of iterating. So, FRP is a specific technique for doing RP. When people like Erik Meijer took ideas from FRP and re-interpreted them in the context of | |
