Description

I discovered Most (https://github.com/cujojs/most) a couple of days ago and the perf numbers look amazing. However, here at Streak we're all in on Kefir right now and don't want to migrate to a new stream library. My guess is that some of the techniques used in Most could be applied to Kefir.

I thought about implementing the performance improvements ourselves but figured I'd reach out to you to see if you're interested in taking on the project since you know Kefir better than anybody. I also understand you're very busy, so we'd be willing to sponsor the development.

Let me know what you think. If you want to take this conversation private you can reach me at omar@streak.com.
