(Comp.lang.ada is more exciting when principle people contribute their expertise regarding fresh trends in Ada, rather than merely students seeking to cheat on their homework/test questions.) Is RxAda released publicly?  If not yet, might RxAda be released publicly as part of that GtkAda/Gnoga demonstration?

That was a bit of a tongue-in-cheek comment... But yes, while 
researching for RxAda I read mostly RxJs, RxJava and RxCpp, and with the 
former two I had no problems, but RxCpp examples where very ugly/messy 
to my eyes. It's true that at the time I had very little experience with 
C++ lambdas.
