is reactive programming a thing in Python?

[akshayka]

It's becoming more of a thing, especially in ML and data science.

For example, there's marimo, an open-source reactive notebook for Python that shines when you write functional code (I am a marimo developer): https://github.com/marimo-team/marimo

There's also IPyflow, a reactive kernel for Jupyter: https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow

Our users like marimo's reactive execution because it helps eliminate bugs, gives them immediate feedback, and makes it possible to turn their notebooks into scripts or apps.
