The satire might be inspired by a very real lib 'Callbag" from the creator of Cycle.js https://github.com/staltz/callbag-basics

I haven't seen that library, but a HN comment chain from last July[1] (nailer's reply in particular) almost certainly planted the seed for this.

I think they're unrelated. This seems to be a protest repo against JavaScript's churn.

Ohhhh I've been had. That'll teach me to RTFM.
