Adding Even More Fun to Functional Programming With RXJS
summary
Claims that Netflix uses RXJS to replace loops and ifs with functional operators and to manage async concurrency using Observables. Demonstrations use actual code: map, mergeAll, filter, reduce, zip applied to keypress→Ajax streams, plus flattening strategies merge, concat, switchLatest to control out‑of‑order responses. Builds an animated autocomplete that keeps Ajax results and DOM animations synchronized using throttle, distinctUntilChanged, concatAll and forEach for DOM updates, and shows the approach works end to end.
