Can someone advise me the need of this library? #241

Why RxScala is created since Scala almost natively supports features brought by this RxScala?

Just curious on the intention. Thanks.

RxJava/RxScala was a precursor to Reactive Streams, which has since become part of the JVM. Other libraries built upon these interfaces to provide similar streaming frameworks.

At the moment of writing, Scala or its standard library does not natively support this asynchronous non-blocking streaming.
