Who made RxJS / ReactiveX?

Question

I'm curious who started ReactiveX / RxJS?

Rx seems to be implemented in a lot of languages/platforms, I'm curious to what's the origins of it? Which project was first?

RxJS is used heavily in Angular web framework. Was there a company behind it like Microsoft, Netflix or Google?

Wow, not sure why this question got down voted... I guess not much history buffs around here... Anyway I found this as well. blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/interoperability/2012/11/06/… If that blog post is correct, the first version of Rx was for .NET and it was originally introduced by Microsoft. – Broad

Rx* is just a product of Microsoft that they Open Sourced. The strange thing was that when I developed in Windows Phone it would be Obsolete because .NET has also its own functionality. I even did replace those Rx functions with .NET functions. It was not an integrated .NET Component. And now suddenly its a Hot Open Source thing because its used heavily in Angular. Looks like some kind of reincarnation :-) – Prod
