Trying to justify using RxKotlin on top of RxJava 2. So far I like the plusAssign operator to add to CompositeDisposable as well as clarity of writing out of onNext, onError, etc. anything else that you like? I wonder how RxKotlin will affect RxJava 2 to RxJava 3 conversion

subscribeBy

is nice 👍

Also it makes using

zip

and other combining operators a lot easier. I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out why the hell

Observable.zip

isn't compiling in Kotlin. Using the

Observables

namespace handles it easily.

yea, there is a thread for 2 years now about that: https://github.com/ReactiveX/RxKotlin/issues/115 and it looks like badoo actually went ahead and do it themselves: https://github.com/badoo/Reaktive

Just try combineLatest without rxkotlin

i am a little scared of rxjava 2 to 3 conversion while rxkotlin is used. the conversion that will need to happen in the next year and a half

what is so different?

As far as I can tell, the primary change for RxJava3 is that different portions of the library are being split off into different modules. That should be an easy update for the RxKotlin maintainers to add.
