Reactive programming is a paradigm that is totally unlike that of your more traditional imperative style of programming. Being aware of the strengths and weaknesses of reactive programming could help you turn software disasters into potential successes.
With reactive programming, we can totally destroy the imperative style and instead focus on representing our data as a stream of events. We can subscribe to these subsequent streams and take action upon receiving these events. This helps us simplify our system's flow that could quickly become very unwieldy and unmaintainable if we were to follow a more traditional architecture and style.
Reactive libraries take away the complexity of us having to push our events to various functions within our systems, and enable us to effectively work with data as queryable, real-time streams. We can essentially...
