Theoretically React may also work in browsers via o'browsers (http://ocsigen.org/obrowser 
) but I never tried.

Correct me if I'm wrong but from my perspective froc is different from  
react in that it leaks memory (see example below) and is less thread  
friendly (because it uses global datastructures).

Best,

The following froc program consumes an unbounded amount of memory :

> open Froc_afp;;
>
> let n = return 1;;

> let () =
>   while true do
>     let m = n >>= fun x -> return (x + 1) in
>     print_int (read m);
>     Gc.full_major ();
>   done

The following equivalent react program consumes a bounded amount of  
memory :

> open React;;

> let n, _ = S.create 1
