RxJS is an open-source library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs. It provides powerful operators for transforming, filtering, combining, and managing streams of data, from user input and web requests to real-time updates.

Ben Lesh is the creator of RxJS. He joins Josh Goldberg to talk about his path into engineering and the RxJS library.

Josh Goldberg is an independent full time open source developer in the TypeScript ecosystem. He works on projects that help developers write better TypeScript more easily, most notably on typescript-eslint: the tooling that enables ESLint and Prettier to run on TypeScript code. Josh regularly contributes to open source projects in the ecosystem such as ESLint and TypeScript. Josh is a Microsoft MVP for developer technologies and the author of the acclaimed Learning TypeScript (O’Reilly), a cherished resource for any developer seeking to learn TypeScript without any prior experience outside of JavaScript. Josh regularly presents talks and workshops at bootcamps, conferences, and meetups to share knowledge on TypeScript, static analysis, open source, and general frontend and web development.
