A tiny abstraction over Rx is used instead.

Does this mean that MVIKotlin has a dependency on a Java-only library e.g. RxJava? Or does it mean MVIKotlin has a custom Reactive Extensions implementation of its own? Or something else?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

There are two Gradle modules in MVIKotlin: rx and rx-internal. They provide some abstractions like Observer, Disposable, etc. Plus there are some simple Subject implementations. Another solution would be to use the Reaktive library internally.

Out of curiosity, why not use coroutine SharedFlow?

[Arkadii Ivanov]

Sure, I don't want additional dependencies. Also I need to ensure that values are received by observers on the same call stack as emitted. I would rather use Reaktive, because it is much more predictable, and also much more stable in Kotlin/Native
