Two perplexing aspects:
- Why so many lambda functions instead of regular named functions? Is it a technical limitation? Something important should have a name, for instance (for the example in the article) different ways to compute greetings from names.
- How are the computations ordered, particularly multiple Effects that trigger at the same change? For instance, in the example in the article, when the name changes the updated greeting is printed before or after the updated location.
You can use normal names function instead of lambdas if you prefer! In Javascript anonymous functions are used normally for things, where defining named functions are considered too verbose - I use lambdas for that in Python.
The Signals evaluation are topologically ordered and are running synchronously. Effects are running in the order they are defined.
