[racket] An elm-like racket language?

I've been interested in FRP for a while, but I haven't yet found a way to
learn it, and I'm thinking FrTime might be a good way.  I'm the kind of guy
who learns stuff best by integrating them into my projects, and I'm working
on a project in Racket right now that seems like it could benefit.  How
hard would it be to integrate frtime into an existing project?  I assume
that I would create most of my own signals and whatnot, but it looks like I
should be able to use the same update mechanism even without using #lang
FrTime.

Are there any particular docs and/or code I should read (aside from the
basic docs online and your paper)?  Any tips?
