Carp! A user just turned me onto that, I am looking at porting Matrix to Carp. Matrix started on Common Lisp in the last century. https://github.com/kennytilton/cells

Specifically, for reactive "spreadsheet-like" code in Lisp, Kenny Tilton's Cells project comes to mind: https://github.com/kennytilton/cells

The reactive programming idea reminded me of Ken Tilton and "Cells", which exploits the flexibility of CLOS (the Common Lisp Object System) to create a reactive programming language on top of Common Lisp. https://github.com/kennytilton/cells and he has slides from a talk https://github.com/kennytilton/cells/blob/main/Lisp-NYC-2018... to give context.

Try Kenny Tilton's "Cells": https://github.com/kennytilton/cells "Spreadsheet-like expressiveness for CLOS, the Common Lisp Object System." He used this to write a GUI called "Cello": https://github.com/kennytilton/Cello/

from the other side, check out 'cells' for an interesting implementation of spreadsheet-like reactive updates within common lisp https://github.com/kennytilton/cells/wiki

See Kenny Tilton's Cells project, which more or less does the inverse. https://github.com/kennytilton/cells

I was previous linked to your Cells library because I'm trying to do something very similar [1]. Matrix seem to be in a similar vein (at least from the sample usage here). Could you tell me if any of your libraries allow live editing of formulas? (Adding new ones, editing existing ones and deleting some.) If yes, do the new input (cI) need to be declare manually? I've also seen these slides [2] in your repo. Can you say a bit about the solution to "The Glitch"? As you've noted there, topological sort isn't enough if there are conditionals. I also couldn't tell what "Glitches and RoboCup Sim" was about from just the PDF. Finally, when using a cells-like library, do you get "discontinuous jumps" when cells are no longer suitable (or the network becomes too complicated) and fallback to imperative callbacks? Or do you manage to used cells for

I wonder if this is any relation to Kenny Tilton's Lisp project from a decade ago, also named Cells: https://github.com/kennytilton/cells

This sounds very similar to Kenny Tilton's Cells package for Common Lisp: https://github.com/kennytilton/cells I haven't had occasion to use Cells, but I'm glad to be reminded of it, as I may have a use for it soon.

Reading the title I was expecting some Lisp/Haskell... While you can do that, Python doesn't make your life easier if you want to go functional, really. There's only map/reduce/filter, one-line lambdas (that get really messy really fast), no currying, etc. (however, comprehensions are fine) I appreciate the effort of the OP in questioning the fact of dataflow implementations, and I suggest him to further explore the world of functional languages - it's huge and resourceful, while the quality of the content written is surprisingly high on average - as he may even find a working implementation for the problem he was trying to solve (happens way too often to me). BTW, a quick google brought me to this [1] - I'm not sure if it's exactly what we are talking about, but seems related. [1]: https://github.com/kennytilton/cells
