- bsimpson 3y agoTC39 (the JS standards body) and WHATWG (the web standards body) have been ping-ponging this back and forth between one another. I believe WHATWG is being favored so Observables will have a "killer app" (events) and could hence be built into the platform. As I recall, there was friction in TC39 to the effect of "RxJS exists. Why bother specifying this in the language?"
- badlucklottery 3y ago> "RxJS exists. Why bother specifying this in the language?" And, honestly, that's a great point. It's even easy to wrap EventTargets: fromEvent(target, 'eventName'). For the record: I'm a big fan of RxJS and have used it in production client-side code for several years. But even I'm not hot on this proposal to build it into the language.
