I thought this would be referring to the Observable ie Observer/Subscriber pattern as a primitive in JavaScript, of which RxJS (Reactive Extensions) is the best known implementation followed closely by MobX. I like this project quite a bit, but it is unfortunately named.
It feels kinda like naming your project "Array map for JavaScript."
- TeMPOraL 7y agoCome on, RxJS stole that (and "reactive") terms from prior work, which was arguably more interesting for anyone except web developers. So we can keep passing the blame about who steals SEO from who...
- IggleSniggle 7y agoTo be clear, I was only quoting RxJS as the most popular implementation in js for the Observable primitive. This has nothing to do with the Observable primitive. My complaint isn’t that this steals SEO, it’s that this becomes less searchable because any search for “Observable JavaScript” is going to turn up RxJS/MobX or one of the other libraries that implement Observable primitive types. Edit: with regard to ReactiveX...well yeah. But it’s nice that it’s implemented in so many languages! (Not just RxJS) http://reactivex.io/languages.html http://reactivex.io/languages.html
- sethf 7y agoMy exact reaction - and the reason I clicked through, though I must say I was pleasantly surprised it was this, and not JavaScript Observables. May have to make the switch from Notion https://www.notion.so/ https://www.notion.so/
