There seems to be some common misconceptions about the technology behind both React and FRP, and unfortunately this is compounded by the fact that FB called it "React" when it is not technically using reactive technology or functional reactive programming. I'd love to hear from any experts on the matter what the key technical distinctions are between React and FRP and where Qt's QML, which is declarative and reactive, fits into this picture in comparison. I've recently skimmed several papers on general reactive programming, and many of them cite QML in their examples, while none of them mentioned React -- perhaps because React is newer. In any case, these are interesting paradigms that could use some dumbed-down explanations.
