We present HipHop.js, a synchronous reactive language that adds synchronous
concurrency and preemption to JavaScript. Inspired from Esterel, HipHop.js
simplifies the programming of non-trivial temporal behaviors as found
in complex web interfaces or IoT controllers and the cooperation
between synchronous and asynchronous activities. HipHop.js is compiled into
plain sequential JavaScript and executes on unmodified runtime environments.
We use three examples to present and discuss HipHop.js: a simple web login
form to introduce the language and show how it differs from JavaScript, and
two real life examples, a medical prescription pillbox and an
interactive music system that show why concurrency and preemption help
programming such temporal applications.
