Functional programming paradigm is built upon the idea that everything is a pure function. Reactive programming paradigm is built upon the idea that everything is a stream observer and observable philosophy.
A bunch of libraries have been developed for basically every major programming language which facilitate reactive programming. Among the most prominent of them are the ReactiveX Libraries that exist for Javascript, Python, Scala and a quite few others.
Functional reactive programming (FRP) is a programming paradigm for reactive programming (asynchronous dataflow programming) using the building blocks of functional programming (e.g. map, reduce, filter).
In shorts, Object Oriented Programming(OOPs) is a type programming language(design) and reactive programming is a programming paradigm which deals with Asynchronous data flows.
See also Odersky et al.'s paper "Deprecating the Observer Pattern". It explains the library Scala.React, which was developed for the paper.
There's reactive -- http://github.com/nafg/reactive. The repository currently contains two projects. reactive-core is a standalone FRP library. reactive-web builds on it to make it very easy to make very dynamic and interactive Lift webapps.
https://github.com/Netflix/RxJava Functional Reactive Programming library for the JVM, developed by Netflix.
There is Scala.Rx by Li Haoyi. In short, it aims to be a simpler, easy-to-use and more interoperable reimagination of (parts of) Scala.React.
Don't be misled by the Rx suffix. Scala.Rx has little to do with Reactive Extensions from .NET. Scala.Rx does not focus so much on asynchrony and event streams as rather time-varying values and the expression of functional dependencies with automatic change propagation.
