Author here. Happy to answer any questions.

Great work!

From the presentation by Benjamin Gruenbaum - `Why Async Iterators Matter` there is slide where he shows how some Rxjs code can be rewritten using async iterators.

Is there a chance we could see some more examples of complicated Rxjs patterns being replaced by code using Axax?

Would love to. Do you know where I could find some in the wild? They often help inform what functions to add to axax.

Here are some Rxjs examples from an older version of the library

Any chance of adding a wrapper for async iterables that allows chaining of filter, map, etc rather than needing to individually import each function?

Similarly, a forEach would be welcome for those of us who prefer to avoid for loops.

Thanks for your suggestions. Chaining would be neat. For each should be pretty simple to do.

For other stuff, anything from lodash or ramda that could reasonably be applied to async iterables would be welcome, possibly with some tweaks. For example, a `find` method that returns a Promise that resolves with the first matching result, or optionally rejects after X milliseconds timeout, or a `reduce` that returns an iterable that returns each new reducer result.

Nice work! Reminds me of callbags, but for async/await hehe

Thanks! Someone else showed me callbags just today. Looks great.
