I'm not bitching but it's a tad confusing it's called React because I assumed it's a UI library similar to ReactJS (whereas it's more like Rx and friends). Still, awesome to see ideas from Rx getting traction in all languages!
- schlangster 12y agoThe name was originally inspired by scala-react (https://github.com/ingoem/scala-react https://github.com/ingoem/scala-react). In terms of the API, that's where I was starting from, but I made a couple of changes along the way. Rx (in particular the C++ implementation) is actually still something I have to look into. I've been watching Erik Meijer's videos, so I know about Rx in general, but I'm not familiar enough with it yet to understand if and where there are any fundamental differences (besides the API and features). Once I've worked that out, I'll probably add a FAQ section to the documentation.
