For someone not well-versed in Observables, the distinction between a subscriber and an observer is a subtle and unintuitive one.\r\n\r\nI understand why they are called subscribers - when the source is another observable, they literally are subscribing to it.  But when the source is not an observable (which it won't be in any introduction), the subscriber has nothing to do with subscribing, and I fear this will confuse people learning Observables.\r\n\r\nI trust that we can find a better name, perhaps **`connector`**.  After all, the function's purpose is to _connect_ the observer to an underlying event source; the function it returns _disconnects_ the observer from the same event source."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tc39/proposal-observable/issues/comments/266278401","html_url":"https://github.com/tc39/proposal-observable/issues/120#issuecomment-266278401","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/tc39/proposal-observable/issues/120","id":266278401,"user":{"login":"benjamingr","id":1315533,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1315533?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr","html_url":"https://github.com/benjamingr","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/benjamingr/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-11T12:09:29Z","updated_at":"2016-12-11T12:09:29Z","body":"Just to contrast the opinions brought up here - I think subscriber is a great name.
