Hi Daniel, I'm interested in why you rolled your own RS implementation: was it because > you didn't want a dependency on akka, or because akka-streams isn't stable > enough yet, or for some other reason? >
I feel that this is an apple to oranges kind of comparison. To give you a very imperfect analogy from DB world the reactive streams layer (Publisher, Subscriber) is akin to a JDBC driver while Akka Streams is akin to an ORM framework (very bad analogy, I know). So whenever you consider building an application leveraging reactive streams you will usually pick - external libs that give you Reactive Streams drivers (databases, JMS or RabbitMQ connectors, network connectors, logging adapters, etc) - external lib or libs that give you a framework to connect these elements in a simple and safe way Akka Streams is mostly the second kind, but for example the TCP or persistence adapters might be used in the first way, and integrating them with something else than Akka Streams. While a connector might decide to use Akka Streams (or any other library of the second kind) internally this is not necessary, and many times not needed. -Endre > > If there was a different library, smaller/more lightweight than akka > actors, that provided a generic implementation of RS, would you have used > it?
