That's what I've done, finding nothing I hoped that it was present under
another name, that's why I created this thread.

Clearly not, I asked for reactive programming, to be able some things
simpler, not to find a complicated way to do these things.
As you said, RP is only a tool, it's relevant in the things I want to do,
if I can't do this things using RP, I'll try to do in an other relevant way.
I don't want to do RP to do RP, I want to do RP because it is easy to do
the things I want to do.

I want to be able, for example:
 - be able to update ViM help automatically to print the correct bindings
if I do a map
 - update the ui when I work on .vim files
 - print function documentation or usages of it or tests during cursor
moves into my code
