RxJava VS rsocket-java

Is this similar RxJava, the reactive extensions library for https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava ? I have made that work in Clojure in production.

Since you mentioned java, there is RxJava and RxAndroid. Google general recommendation now is to use kotlin coroutines if you're considering writing your app with that.

It's very quick though. In terms of the correctness of the syntax, I've never seen an issue while translating a single file or a single function. When I took the entire RxJava code base 5 years ago, right clicked on the source folder and converted to Kotlin, I found lots of problems. File by file I've never seen any issues though, but I also haven't done it much.

You all beat me to MapStruct and Testcontainers. Honorable mention to RxJava, which I use in Desktop apps.

Concurrency: Kotlin coroutines for general use, Rx or Flow for reactive programming (you can technically use Rx for regular concurrency as well, but not really what it's meant for)

If you're just looking at making a service call on a regular interval and notifying the user when there's an actual change in data, you can also look into RxJava https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxJava. From here you can "subscribe" to your service call, and then every time you make your service call you can have it look for changes compared to the previous emission .distinctUntilChanged() and then only notify it's subscribers when it notices an actual change. From there you can trigger a local notification and push to a LiveData (assuming MVVM) or otherwise update the UI to match as well.

TL;DR: WasmRS is an implementation of RSocket for WebAssembly giving you reactive, async streams in and out of WASM modules. GitHub | Protocol details | Rust source | Go source

You might also checkout https://rsocket.io/

My personal WebSockets vs SSE TL;DR goes something like this:

* If you're on HTTP/2, start with SSE

* If you need to send binary data, use WebSockets

* If you need fast bidi streaming, use WebSockets

* If you need backpressure and multiplexing for WebSockets, use RSocket or omnistreams[1] (one of my projects).

A few years ago I was more inclined to use WebSockets. They're undeniably cool. But as implemented in browsers (thanks to the asynchronous nature of JavaScript) they offer no mechanism for backpressure, and it's pretty trivial to freeze both Chrome and Firefox sending in a loop if you have a fast upload connection.

I designed a small protocol[0] to solve this (and a few other handy features) which we use at work[1]. A more robust option to solve similar problems is RSocket[3].

More recently I've been working on a reverse proxy[2], and realized how much of a special case WebSockets is to implement. Maybe I'm just lazy and don't want to implement WS in boringproxy, but these days I advocate using plain HTTP whenever you can get away with it. Server Sent Events on HTTP/1.1 is hamstrung by the browser connection limit, but HTTP/2 solves this, and HTTP/3 solves HTTP/2's head of line blocking problems.

Also, as mentioned in the article, I try to prefer polling. This was discussed recently on HN[4].
