Reactivity and Reactive Programming

Nearly all modern browser UI frameworks boast Reactivity as a core feature. What is Reactivity all about? Is it useful or applicable outside of frontend development? what is the hype all about anyways?

Most modern JavaScript UI frameworks boast Reactivity, but have you ever wondered what that means exactly?

In my opinion, Reactivity is largely responsible for making modern frontend development unintuitive to outsiders.

This blog post explains what Reactivity is, and how it manifested in the frontend development world today.

You might find this interesting if you’re: a frontend dev unfamiliar with the concept, a non-frontend dev interested in frontend, or just curious what Reactivity is!
