The Reactive Extensions covers all of those particular topics quite well, in terms of responsive to failure, responsive to events, responsive to load etc.

We cover that a bit in our repository with the Reactive Manifesto: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS

And I've even covered it at StrangeLoop 2013: video: http://www.infoq.com/presentations/rx-event-processing slides: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/StrangeLoop2013

As well as FutureJS: video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlERo_JMGCw slides: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/FutureJS
