[Haskell-cafe] Help to choose a library name

[Alberto G. Corona]

Corentin:

Transient has the same behaviour than your reactive library. Your library
must produce two results if you press the first and then the second button,
(and more if you press them more times).

In the example, return "hello"  and return "world"  are two different
events that are triggered inmediately, and each one produces an output.

The Transient EDSL for Web programming has the same behaviour than yours
and use the same <|>

(submitButton "hello" `fire` OnClick)  <|> (submitButton "world"  `fire`
onClick)

return either one or the other. But it can produce, like yours (I suppose)
two or more results, as many events as you trigger.

>     th' <- liftIO myThreadId                                  -- thread 90 and 91
>     liftIO $ print (th, th', r)                               -- thread 90 and 91
