@JordanMartinez: thanks for the invite.

I'm working on a (hopefully open source) javafx virtual dom for clojure and both richtextfx and flowless are brilliant libraries. Still very much learning and I'll be useless for a while but will do my best.

Nice! Well, if you're using Clojure, then at least you already get the FP concepts behind these libraries. The "brilliant" design was created by Tomas and I learned a lot by studying them. I can tell you right now that the key issue I had in making progress with this library was not having write access to ReactFX, which undergirds this library and what it can/can't do. Tomas also wanted to refactor ReactFX, but I'm not sure what the end product would look like. Still, I've written documentation on both libraries that should help you get familiar with them pretty quickly.

It'll be great if you can link to the documentation (other than javadoc) for both flowless and reactfx

For ReactFX, see the EventStreams and Val/Var sections in its wiki and I wrote those when I was learning how to use that library. I also started writing more javadoc in TomasMikula/ReactFX#64, but I did not finish it partly for lack of feedback from Tomas and my own general understanding of things.

For Flowless, there isn't anything else other than the javadoc. Start with the classes' javadoc, which give a pretty good overview of how they work and why. Flowless is a bit complex because IIRC there are circular dependencies in some parts.
