I've been working with reactive programming for a while now, and it's been a real game changer. I recommend using RxJava, it's quite popular and has a lot of community support.

Interesting, I've heard about RxJava but haven't tried it yet. Do you have any resources for learning it?
john_doe 11 months ago next
There are a lot of great resources online, including the official documentation, online tutorials, and video courses. I learned from a combination of all three. Here are some resources to get you started: * Official Documentation: <https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava#documentation> * Udacity Course: <https://www.udacity.com/course/reactive-programming-with-rxjava--ud891> * Pluralsight Course: <https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/rxjava-reactive-programming-java>

I'd also like to know, what kind of projects have you used RxJava for?

I've used RxJava for building real-time chat applications, network requests, and handling user input. It's quite versatile and powerful once you get the hang of it.

I've tried reactive programming using RxJS, and it made my code more concise and easier to read. However, it has a steep learning curve.

What similar libraries would you recommend for Python?
helpful_assistant 11 months ago next
For Python, you might want to check out RxPy, which is the Python implementation of the Rx Observables Library. Other similar libraries include asyncio and trio.

I recommend checking out the official documentation and online tutorials for learning RxJava. Some popular projects include building real-time systems and networking applications, but it can be applied to any use case that requires handling asynchronous data streams.
