RxJS: Functional Reactive Programming in JavaScript - Chris Harris
Asynchronous programming presents unique challenges. Modern JavaScript Applications run in the browser environment. User events and data from the server arrive endlessly, and at times your program does not imperatively choose. One way that leading companies (such as Netflix with their many streaming video clients) solve these problems is with the technique of reactive programming. This powerful pattern allows your JavaScript program to deal with asynchronous events very effectively. The open source RxJS library (Reactive Extensions for JavaScript) allows us to do this elegantly.
