Funny how reactive seems recent for people, while dataflow / dag based visuals are old in the movie/cgi industry :)

It always pains me to remember a p2 cpu could do realtime nurbs procedural animation (very complex) and yet we still have manual state machines for simpler tasks like documents / filesystems etc

This article is right that there's a lot to gain in terms of ergonomics by finding leaner ways. I also think the web stack and dev culture is ready to respond well to this idea.
