React 2014 : Erik Meijer - What does it mean to be Reactive?

[@rico4u2day2]

i've watched this about 3 or 4 times now and i realize something new every time

[@GlukAlex]

"... terminates naturally" - that was hilarious. He is a great person with outstanding sense of humor.

[@eniac78]

Entertaining. Also I like the way he avoids dogmas and gets at core concepts in a language agnostic way so the material is accessible to a wide audience. Really enjoy listening to this hyper little dutch dude.

[@ChrisAthanas]

Beautiful talk

[@vyunyang]

The explanation on getters, setters and duality is priceless! It finally clicked with me. And it’s so funny I watched it again just for the fun of it.

[@DeanRadcliffe]

How is this the first Erik Meijer video I've seen? He's wonderful!

[@joelcastellon9129]

this guy knows how to have fun at work

[@hyeonilchoi7630]

Thanks, informaion. Thank you.

[@KevanGui]

After years of coding in Rx, finally can understand the meaning of his words!

[@mendelmonteiro]

Erik really needs to do some sport...

[@LewisCampbellTech]

Accoding to wikipedia: "On Christmas 2014 Erik Meijer was diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia and suffered a close to death experience for which he was hospitalized."

[@VijayaPrakashKandel]

Awesome!

[@DisfigurmentOfUs]

Thanks

[@DinoFancellu]

He's Hyper Reactive

[@ramashanker87]

really awesome video to understand the need of reactive programming ::::

[@elcapitan6126]

I'm not sure Erik correctly described iteratees when he said they were in a sense both observables and enumerables. He said they can send values back to the 'collection' but from my understanding these values are limited to either Cont, Done or Error states, where Cont is a function that accepts the next value from the collection, computes a step, producing one of the above three states again. Amiright?

[@elcapitan6126]

Dan R instead I think combining observables and enumerables give you something more like enumeratees.

[@grimoire5220]

Ah, updated 300000 rows async but after 50 rows the connectionpool gives no new free connections anymore. Normaly the update shall return void, but gives a exception now. You tell me the connectionpool must be functional-reactive too?!

[@ed.puckett]

This guy is an opaque type

[@ed.puckett]

His goal seems not to teach but to impress

[@tyleryang5858]

How to understand the "nodejs programmer should understand denotation semantic, that's crazy, that should be done by the compiler."? Is there something relative with the Communicating Sequential Processes? (Async in es7 ?)

[@sergei_vilgodskii]

He's like stand-up comic

[@NicholasMarshall]

Could someone post links to the software libraries he mentions?

[@VijayaPrakashKandel]

2nd time: bit more clear

[@jerryaultz2197]

hanging out in the boardroom is like hanging with the freaks in "eyes wide shut"! Hilarious.

[@carnelyve866]

E.X.C.E.L.L.E.N.T

[@Luckpart1]

He mentioned few movies in this talk.. I am not able to find the time... :(

[@jasonjimenez9116]

Nowadays we ask chatgpt, bard and the like. Times have changed except the mathematics.

[@mrdavidrees]

comic sans in the slides. how you you do that to your audience??

[@dimka11ggg]

Sadly, can't understand ideas in this video, what must I know to that?

[@TheGamingBigT]

Learn functional programming and it will all make sense.

[@VishnuVenugeek]

actually he has a funny conversation style ..... he has a course in Coursera!

[@edmaphis9805]

+Vishnu Venu He also has a Haskell course on Edx

[@yapayzeka]

I hate steve jobs but this joke is out of bounds. If anybody laughs that he become hating himself. I think a very interesting psycoplogical thing going on there. I can see they hate themselves already for laughing the balmer joke. They are probably regreting for giving him courage to make the jobs joke by lauging the balmer joke.

[@VamoAComeLaPapa]

"getter is a function from nothing to a value"... I think getter is a function from something (object) to a value/object.

[@bojanmatic024]

Is he joking when he says long live side effects? :)

[@David_Raab]

No, without side-effects you can literally do nothing.

[@bhurlow]

hes sorting of kidding yes

[@3333218]

Didn't understand any of it.

[@mattmarkus4868]

lol same here.

[@3amsleep]

Erik is great, but he's gotta be one of the most verbose guys ever...

[@VamoAComeLaPapa]

We are not hackers. We are programmers. Vindicate the meaning of being a programmer.

[@alexchase1856]

Erik is brilliant, but the whole Steve Jobs termination thing was pretty tasteless, in my opinion.

[@omarjavier15]

[@einfacherkerl3279]

why in every video/presentation he has to wear most hideous possible cloths that look so effeminate ? can't he dress sober? he is educating right?

[@TheKivifreak]
