a programing paradigm that helps build responsive, scalable, and resilient applications

Reactive programming is a programing paradigm that helps build responsive, scalable, and resilient applications.

a specification for dealing with asynchronous streams of data

Reactive programming is a specification for dealing with asynchronous streams of data, providing tools for transforming and combining streams and for managing flow-control, making flow-control easier to reason about your overall program design.

with asynchronous data streams

Reactive programming is actually programming with asynchronous data streams.

writing code that revolves around reacting to changes

In simple words, reactive programming means writing code that revolves around reacting to changes.

Reactive programming is a specification for dealing with asynchronous streams of data, providing tools for transforming and combining streams and for managing flow-control, making flow-control easier to reason about your overall program design.

a paradigm that alters the imperative programming style

Reactive programming is a paradigm that alters the imperative programming style, and we didn’t want to go that route.
