What actual products (web apps, mobile apps, etc.) are using bacon.js?

Read about functional reactive programming and bacon.js. I have some questions regarding its adoption:

  • I am wondering which companies have used bacon.js or are considering using it in real products? I found this article from Flowdock but couldn't find any other examples.

  • Are there even more mature JavaScript FRP frameworks?

Thank!

So far, this was the answer I found for my question:



  • I tried several searches on this topic but could not find any other examples (besides Flowdock) of current products using bacon.js. From this poll in JS libraries it seems that bacon.js is not very widely used as it is not even covered in the list.

  • On my way to looking for other FRP frameworks, I found that there are libraries for reactive programming only (although this seems obvious, I was initially unaware of the difference between FRP and just RP. You can check this on Quora). This is a list of FRP frameworks :

    • Bacon.js
    • Kefir (Bacon clone with better performance)
    • Flapjax
    • Elm ( Looks like Prezi is evolving. In fact it is the language itself, which compiles to HTML, CSS and JS)

    This is a list of RP frameworks :

    • React (developed by Facebook and Instagram)
    • RxJS ( RxJava developed by Netflix)
    • Ractive.js (Originally developed at theguardian.com)

m.verkkokauppa.com is using Bacon at the time of writing this. It's so awful that I wrote an article about Bacon's lack of performance . I would not recommend anyone use Bacon for anything serious.

I guess the people who used it were in awe of it at first and now that they saw it remain silent as they are ashamed of ever being in awe of it. But this is just speculation and not based on any facts. Truth be told, there isn't much to be found on the Internet about Bacon on the Internet, so it's probably best to just ignore it.



Kefir seems to be the best if the functional paradigm is close to someone's heart, but I haven't used it yet to see if it's really a good thing.
