It looks to me like Bacon.js is the community favorite and RxJS is the corporate framework when it comes to JavaScript libraries for FRP. I'm thinking about introducing an FRP library into the frontend stack where I work — does anyone have any experience with using either of these libraries (or another) for corporate work? What did you use and how did your coworkers deal with it?


As the primary author of RxJS, I take exception to that characterization. Anyways, you should look at the performance differences between RxJS and Bacon.js. They are quite significant! https://github.com/pozadi/kefir/blob/master/test/perf/memory...


Hi Matt, fyi the codeplex page doesn't mention what appears to be the primary website: http://reactive-extensions.github.io/RxJS/ so you might want to get a link added....


I should be clear that I'm only referring to the superficial characteristics about the frameworks. Nothing about the API itself seems very corporate. Thanks for the pointer to the performance characteristics. I'm interested in differentiating factors.
