Observables and streams
calvinmetcalf opened this issue · comments
The scope of this proposal seems to overlap with https://github.com/whatwg/streams, with the Observable object acting like a transform stream. Are there plans for coordination with @domenic on this?
Observable doesn't support backpressure (except through some user protocols on top), so there's not too much overlap.
Judging from the comments in the example here
https://github.com/jhusain/asyncgenerator/blob/master/README.md#transpilation
it seems to consider it related.

.
the other thing that made me wonder about coordinations is that a readable stream would seem like a very good use case for an async iterator.
