Naming? #4

Closed viktorklang closed 8 years ago

Hi,

I only skimmed the README, but shouldn't the Transformations be named "Processor" rather than "Publisher"? (https://github.com/reactor/reactive-streams-commons#supported-transformations)

Processors implement Subscriber and are 1 to X in general. Our transformations are wrappers that allow N to X in general and don't have a Subscriber front, and they shouldn't have. This is the basis of a reusable fluent API unlike Java Streams.

Ah, ok, thanks for elaborating, @akarnokd!
