I assume you mean "Functional Reactive Animation" (1997) by Conal Elliott and Paul Hudak? While searching for this, I found a great collection of papers on this topic of Functional Reactive Programming in the Haskell language wiki. Most are by Elliot and/or Hudak. Good stuff!

This feels related to many other topics and various strategies, like incremental parsing/compilation/computation, reactivity, CRDTs (conflict-free replicated data type) and distributed computing. About coordinating state changes, reconciling differences, managing dependencies and derived values.

@jitl, the "Data oriented signal library", dalien-signals, looks very interesting and useful, particularly for efficient UI rendering like large tables or maybe editors. I'll enjoy exploring it.
