Interview with
summary
Startup Applied Duality builds a real-time streaming big-data product around Rx open-sourced (Dec 2012) and compatible Java/JS implementations (Netflix Java, Windows Phone history), arguing for semantic compatibility across languages rather than a rigid wire format. Proposes practical tooling: bindings to existing JSON APIs, schema-on-read metadata + indexes instead of centralized DB control, and an async model using commonads-style continuations so compilers can hide callback plumbing rather than pushing monadic APIs on programmers.
