[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Elerea, another FRP library

[Peter Verswyvelen]

Any idea how Elerea compares to Grapefruit? It's great to see a lot of
competition in the FRP arena, but I hope in the end this results in a really
usable and scalable FRP system for Haskell :-)

> is the responsibility of the environment to update them.
