# freactive
Work in progress!
## Overview
The goal of this library is to provide some idioms for functional reactive
The idea of this library is to provide some idioms for functional reactive
programming based on Clojure's already existing `deref`, `swap!` and `reset!`
patterns.
functions. Currently there are reactive `atom`, `rx` (reactive expressions or computations), `lens`
and `cursor` types.
I started this library when I needed to write a fairly
large Clojure project in JavaFX (using my own [fx-clj](https://github.com/aaronc/fx-clj/)).
I was aware of [Om](https://github.com/swannodette/om) and [Reagent](https://github.com/reagent-project/reagent)
and figured I could create something along those lines by creating reactive atoms (as in Reagent) that interacted with JavaFX.
As I was doing this, I realized that a library with the same API could be created in ClojureScript and that also,
a DOM library with a similar API to the JavaFX library could be created.
Example:
```clj
