Swift & ReactiveX – Asynchronous Event-Based Funsies with RxSwift
summary
Introduction to ReactiveX’s RxSwift shows concrete claims: observables replace NotificationCenter, operators like map, filter, merge actually compose streams, and Disposable bag prevents ARC leaks. Demo builds a working Tater tot timer (demo app is completely fine) that pauses with a custom operator; table‑view bindings are awkward and team adoption proves costly. Tools: RxCocoa bindings, RX marbles visualizer, publish subjects and schedulers. Numerous operators exist; Swift port hits ~90% of ReactiveX operators.
