Highlights
Here's what I mean by Rama being so good for reactive and asynchronous code. This code snippet is the implementation of the game initialization part of this video. All code runs on the UI thread, and there are no callback functions. Yet it's written linearly and the code expresses all sorts of async behavior without blocking the UI from updating (popup to retrieve bet, delays in between dealing cards).
Dataflow is a powerful paradigm.
Big release for Rama coming later this week with one particularly cool operational feature. We've made something instantaneous that currently requires taking downtime when using a database.
