808+-- Reactive programming is nothing but concurrent streaming which is what
809+-- streamly is all about. With streamly we can generate streams of events,
810+-- merge streams that are generated concurrently and process events
811+-- concurrently. We can do all this without any knowledge about the specifics
812+-- of the implementation of concurrency. In the following example you will see
813+-- that the code is just regular Haskell code without much streamly APIs used

821+-- be "potion" or "quit". When the user types "potion" the health improves and
822+-- the game continues.
