Reactive Extensions for Ruby
- pallandt 13y agoBookmarked for later use, I'm sure it will come in handy, thanks for posting.I wish it was hosted on GitHub though, but given that it's backed by Microsoft, I can see why not.
- lucisferre 13y agoWhy, Microsoft has other projects on Github: https://github.com/windowsazure/ https://github.com/windowsazure/ But yeah, most stuff ends up on Codeplex.

- pallandt 13y agoThanks!
- xentronium 13y agoIs there any practical example? I've browsed through the source and it seems like a framework to provide asynchronous queries over arbitrary datasets. Am I right?
- roryokane 13y agohttp://rxrb.codeplex.com/documentation http://rxrb.codeplex.com/documentation has a more detailed description. It also has code examples, though they are misformatted.
- Argorak 13y agoThis is very much the definition of a code dump: a single file, not following any standard ruby code conventions - not even naming conventions (it would be called "rx" otherwise), tests within that file, misformatted code. snake_cased and camedBacked variables mixed. It monkey-patches Enumerable and uses class variables. `gets` at the end of the file, to keep the Windows console open, rendering the whole thing unusable as a library. Also, the author clearly doesn't know that you don't need ".rb" when requiring files. Last commit on December 22, 2012. Could people please have a look at the source before posting stuff here? This is not a project to be taken seriously and a waste of time. "Someone at Microsoft was playing with Ruby" is the only valuable thing you can get out of it.
- steveklabnik 13y agoI tweeted about this release, and they specifically asked me for contributions, saying they would love help with making the project more Ruby like, actually following conventions. I told them that I don't work on anything Microsoft related, for personal ethical reasons, and they actually handled that response quite gracefully.
- tinco 13y agoThat's interesting.. Where do you draw the line as far as Microsoft relatedness goes? Is your motivation more to make sure you never contribute to Microsoft goals, or is it actually never to be exposed to Microsoft technology yourself? Is there something Microsoft affected you personally with or is it their business practices in general?
- steveklabnik 13y agoMicrosoft attempted to destroy humanity's crowning achievement (so far): the World Wide Web. Totally unforgivable. Now: people sometimes use Microsoft products, and they're often beginners. I will write software that runs on Windows, as that's often the people who need help the most. But contributing directly to a Microsoft product is too much for me.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoGermany attempted once to take over Europe and lots of people died. Totally unforgivable. Now: people sometimes visit Germany, and they're often just tourists. I will build things for Germans, as that makes me money. But contributing directly to Germany is too much for me.
- steveklabnik 13y agoI too enjoy absurd comparisons.
