I'm not sure to follow:  in the "Elm/vdom" approach, the original

    p [ text (string_of int i) ]

has the behavior you describe: the content of the text node will always 
be equal to "string_of_int i" and you don't have to do any explicit 
update to achieve that.  That's the beauty of the model.  I guess this 
could be qualified as "reactive" as well, except that the entire view is 
refreshed when any part of the state change (and the vdom diffing 
approach makes this viable).
