Question: advice on holding a widget state about frp-guides HOT 5 CLOSED

I'm not sure how to answer, your question is very broad. But if you want to go the "everything FRP" route, then I think that the paper "Declarative event-oriented programming" mentioned in the README might be a good starting point.

I understand that my question was very vague, but still dared to ask :)
Thank you, I will read it!

No worries. Hope I could help! 😄

Can't resist, I'm so excited! I thought I would never understand how to program using FRP, but I actually started reading that Conal Eliott's paper you suggested above and trying to replicate same stuff for widget rendering, not with Fran, but using Reactive Banana and its glfw bindings I found on github. Also created a couple of my own AddHandlers on top of that.

It almost feels like magic, I wire up some Behaviors, some fmap-ping, hook events to sample them and it works like I intended. Haskell-world just doesn't stop to amaze me with these things: when I constantly feel like I'm only starting to learn something and at the same time I'm able to actually achieve things which seemed rather non-trivial at start, it's so rewarding! But my code is still awful and that's ok for now :))

Thanks for your help and for Reactive Banana, its api is really concise and nice :)
