Hi, this is Matthew Podwysocki from the React Native Windows team here at Microsoft. I can address some of these points. 1. Yes, we are working on Windows tutorials at the moment and more detailed writeups such as how we got the F8 App fro

RxJS author here. Right, an advantage is if you know the Java, .NET, Python, C++ version, etc, then you know the JavaScript version. That and we try to adhere to an Array#extras style following all of ES2015/ES7 Array methods. Another

It's not. Virtual time can mean anything in this case as in not real time and it can be swapped out at any point.

As in you can specify the time at which things execute and swap out the concurrency model at any time. This makes it perfect for testing: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/doc/

RxJS author here. We on the RxJS team have never called RxJS FRP as we do not have a continuous notion of time, instead we have a notion of virtual time. That and we do not distinguish between events and behaviors as they all are Observab

The RxJS author here. This was meant to be training for Netflix team members to become familiar with RxJS as they use Rx for pretty much all of their systems, whether front end or back end. We've made great strides recently making Rx m

Yep, speaking as part of the team, we're committed to making it cross platform where it works with GCC, Clang and MSVC. It works on Linux, Mac OSX, Windows, Android and iOS.

I would certainly say that Rx has a superset of the operators in standard CEP which largely deals with buffers and windows, yes. In addition, we have time-based join and group join behavior, join calculus eg: Rx.Observable.when( stream1.

Yep, there are plenty of examples to be found such as those listed here: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/NDC-Oslo-2014 In addition, we ship a good number of samples within our RxJS repository: https:/&#x2F

There were definite tradeoffs to make while we were designing Rx and that was certainly one of them. Since we don't want to have to check if the stream is the same stream, instead of saying: stream1.combine(stream1.skip(1), ...) We en

That information is a bit dated as we have several ways of dealing with backpressure starting with RxJS 2.2.15 with the inclusion of pausable/pausableBuffered and controlled https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/R

by mattpodwysocki 12y ago
Using Rx, you can certainly do CEP as we have buffer and window operators, and the ability to so groupBy and other complex operators. For example we have one that analyzes stock streams https://github.com/Reactive-Extension

steveklabnik, still working on the Ruby port of Rx. It will get there but needs more community support.

As the primary author of RxJS, I take exception to that characterization. Anyways, you should look at the performance differences between RxJS and Bacon.js. They are quite significant! https://github.com/pozadi/kefir&#

Node.js streams are largely unicast, instead RxJS and related libraries can be multicast. RxJS, on the other hand has been fairly stable for quite some time now and the APIs largely haven't changed from when we first released in 2010.

Can you give some examples? I'm failing to see how this was a step backwards.

Why not try watching the video from Jafar Husain, a tech lead from Netflix, talk about Async JavaScript at Netflix which uses RxJS to explain these concepts? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRYN2xt11Ek

It's not a fad at all, with Netflix and other companies using Rx in all flavors on their platforms. See this video from Jafar Husain, a tech lead at Netflix, talk about how they use RxJS at Netflix: https://www.youtube.com&

In this case, it's no more abuse than Ruby's Enumerable, JavaScript's Array#extras, and of course .NET's LINQ. How is this abuse exactly?
27.
by mattpodwysocki 12y ago
Because in this case, RxJS is actually quite easy to explain because of the lack of generics and angle brackets to get in your way to explain concepts. (Speaking as the author of RxJS). That and it's very applicable to current problem

Elm nor Rx or any of its variants are FRP, and instead, we like to consider ourselves on the Rx team as complex event processing and stream-based programming.

It's funny how people think Reactive is new as we've been around since 2007 in different forms with a big release back in 2009 (so five years ago). I would disagree as being the primary author of RxJS as well as a contributor to a

The Reactive Extensions covers all of those particular topics quite well, in terms of responsive to failure, responsive to events, responsive to load etc. We cover that a bit in our repository with the Reactive Manifesto: https:/&#x2F
