NetFlix use FRP in their API. Interesting to see how this stuff can work
and scale in the wild.

Not quite actually. Netflix implemented in java the work that Erik Meijer et al 
did on the rx reactive extensions in .net

There are some important differences. There are a bunch of videos on channel 9 
on the topic

Yes, I think it is unfortunate that they picked the term behavior to
mean continuous time-varying entity.  A generic term behavior does
not have the connotation of continuous, as far as I can tell.

To me, the Flapjax paper and their tutorial are more intuitive
(whatever that means)
