I didn't know about Flapjax, thanks I'll check it out. Glitch-freedom is indeed a gap in this article. I focused on the signal algorithm exclusively without some implementation optimisation like batching updates; there is so much more to cover! Maybe in a next one, Thanks!
And before there was "reactive", there were (oneway) dataflow constraints.
And a lot of literature on the algorithms.
I wrote a bit about the connection here:

(It starts in a slightly different place, but gets there)
Also about constraints as an architectural connector.

Batching isn't just an optimisation, not having transactional semantics can cause bugs.
