I'm very interested in FRP, but all the examples I could see was forms with "live" feedback gui like a real-time calculator. This is a one-time form where the user fills everything in, clicks on a button, where after the computations might take a long time, perhaps display some console-info. But maybe this is a good use-case for reactive-banana as well?
Of course. There is no reason to think that FRP is limited to real-time applications with complicated interactions.
Do you have any good examples in this regard?
Not myself, but there is a somewhat comprehensive tutorial [1] as well
as lots of examples [2] linked from the wiki.
I just want to stress the importance of the last tutorial section: FRP
is not a concrete design pattern, but rather a family of them. The
tutorial explains FRP as understood and implemented specifically by
reactive-banana. There are a number of other practical libraries that
use different notions, in particular of events.
