Event-driven programming in JavaScript often leads to code that is messy and hard to maintain. We have found arrows, a generalization of monads, to be an elegant solution to this problem. Our arrow-based Arrowlets library makes it easy to compose eventdriven programs in modular units of code. In particular, we show how to implement drag-and-drop modularly using arrows.
