Reactive Programming and the Reactive Manifesto
Conclusions
Reactive Programming does not offer any stunning new programming concepts. Instead, the term simply summarizes some older concepts. However, these concepts are particularly interesting for web applications, mobile devices, and cloud computing. The Reactive Manifesto tries to bring some order to the confusion about reactive computing.
The manifesto authors seem to be on the right track. When this issue went to press, almost 5,000 people had already signed the manifesto, and the authors are actively looking for comments on their work (Figure 4). However, reactive programming projects like Frappucino or Sodium still haven't officially implemented the specifications of the manifesto, so it remains to be seen whether the manifesto will actually be accepted in the mid term.
Figure 4: The Reactive Manifesto is also on GitHub. The authors explicitly ask for comments and suggestions.
