Future of Coding

Does anyone know of a nice accessible survey of the state of reactive programming today, ideally with a focus on the different flavors/features and what kind of patterns they enable?

No, but someone I know keeps quoting this paper at me so that might help anchor your academic research.

Embedding dynamic dataflow in a call-by-value language

It seems quite reasonable to me from the parts I have read

ok I found this now, quite good citation count

Yeah, that one might be what I want. First lesson: probably what I wanted to ask about was "dataflow programming". :smile:
