Another way of thinking about this (also mentioned in the docs somewhere) is that Ceu "pretends" that any reactive code finishes infinitely fast, similar to how garbage collected languages "pretend" that computers have infinite memory.

Neither truly does, of course, but the idea is that for the vast majority of situations where either type of language is used, that's a good enough approximation, letting you vastly simplify the problem that you're solving.
