Imperative

let quantity = 1;
let price = 4.99;
let totalPrice = quantity * price; // 4.99

quantity++;
totalPrice // DESYNC

@tomasz_ducin

totalPrice == quantity * price

Invariant (rule to be satisfied):

Functional Reactive

let quantity$ = fromClickEvent()
let price$ = fromHTTP(4.99)
let totalPrice$ = combineLatest(
  quantity$, price$,
  (quantity, price) => quantity * price
)

INC quantity$ // click!
totalPrice$ // 9.98

<script>
  let quantity = 0;
  let price = 4.99;

Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it.
And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.
