Q & A
- How does Reactive programming differ from object-oriented programming?
Object-oriented programming deals with how objects are created and used and how they manage their state and behavior. An object represents an entity of the real world and can interact with the rest of the program via methods. Reactive programming, on the other hand, deals with data and how it is propagated to other parts of the system.
- How do observables compare to the observer pattern?
Both are similar, but they work on a different level. With an observer pattern, you add and dispose of observers in the list and notify the subscriber list of any state changes using methods and encapsulation. Observables, on the other hand, are more flexible as they are built on top of the concepts of the observer pattern and can be composed in a functional way. You can think of observables as an extension of the observer pattern, managing sequences of data and composable operators.
