rxjs before zen-observable? #1

Closed jamestalmage closed 8 years ago

It's got way more methods, lots more features. It seems to be the bluebird of observables (not sure on performance).

zen-observable is a plain polyfill, so thought that should take priority. Happy to change though.

See https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/tree/master/src/add/observable

It could go either way really. If both libraries are available and any-observable causes rxjs to load unnecessarily, then you've wasted cycles loading the larger library. But if it is there, it seems likely it's the one you want.

I guess it comes down to, would you prefer any-promise load bluebird or pinkie? If you have bluebird installed, then almost always bluebird, right?

Counterpoint: If you expect to be able to use all the extra goodies rxjs provides, you probably should be explicitly registering it anyways.

Good point.
