MS Open Tech Open Sources Rx (Reactive Extensions) – a Cure for Asynchronous Data Streams in Cloud Programming – Interoperability @ Microsoft
If you are a developer that writes asynchronous code for composite applications in the cloud, you know what we are talking about, for everybody else Rx Extensions is a set of libraries that makes asynchronous programming a lot easier. As Dave Sexton describes it, “If asynchronous spaghetti code were a disease, Rx is the cure.â€
Reactive Extensions (Rx) is a programming model that allows developers to glue together asynchronous data streams. This is particularly useful in cloud programming because helps create a common interface for writing applications that come from diverse data sources, e.g., stock quotes, Tweets, computer events, Web service requests.
The big news today is that the Reactive Extensions for .NET, C++ and JavaScript are now open source and available on CodePlex!
