In a nutshell reactive programming is about non-blocking, event-driven
applications that scale with a small number of threads with backpressure as a
key ingredient that aims to ensure producers do not overwhelm consumers.

A practical challenge when switching from imperative-style logic to
non-blocking is the ability to compose async logic without getting lost in
"callback hell".
