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 a…

RxJS authoer here. Instead, here are the reasons you may want to consider RxJS instead of Highland https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/blob/master/doc/...

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 st…

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/RxJ…

RxJS author here and creator of some of those exercises. This was meant as a hands on lab where we proctor the event. We've given this at a number of conferences including QCon, Co…

@jhusain not only that but we did introduce a CLI which allows you to bring in only what you need: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/RxJS/releases/tag/v2.... Still in its earl…

RxJS author here. I'll make sure that it's more cross platform as I do actually work for Microsoft. This has been a Netflix only training platform, but in order for us to teach mor…

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 disting…

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 …

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.

And the Reactive Extensions for all languages: https://github.com/Reactive-Extensions/

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…

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 o…

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 …

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:…

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 st…

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 signific…

You can try our Learn RxJS tutorial here as well: http://reactive-extensions.github.io/learnrx/

Ok, the consider GitHub for Mac and Windows are both written using Rx frameworks. In addition, so is Cortana from Microsoft and has been in the phone ROM since day 1

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 largel…

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.co…

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 us…
