This talk gives one of the best descriptions I've ever seen of the motivations for why FRP (Functional Reactive Programming) is useful. All the other explanations I've seen are too much in the weeds, but this is clear, concise, and understandable.

This part 1 video goes through practical examples and gives a nice intro for what it's like to use the library. He even walks through integrating a live tweet stream right into the presentation. It's pretty fun to see the audience tweets appear on-screen in real time.
