Comments by "Martin Maat" (@MartinMaat) on "What Are Reactive Systems?" video.

  1. This can be useful within a single process too. I recently worked with a product that was split up in several components (domains) that each had their own main thread. They subscribed to each other's events and called into each other at will. With a subscription you could choose what thread you wanted to be called on. It was a total mess: side effects could call back into the calling component without you being aware of it, causing hard to track down deadlocks. Unfortunately no one recognized this as a problem worth addressing. I no longer work there and with some distance to the matter am now creating a framework/library that fixes the issues I had to deal with when I was working there. The concepts/principles presented in the video are identical to what I've come up with so far.

  2. Just one more word. Control, Clan, Canal, anything that starts with a C.
