i want do make a can.Component. this component is an easy input field. i want to use the new 2.3 binding syntax and have a debounce for the input inputs. how can i do that? my questions are also: - should i use streams? - is this repo [https://github.com/canjs/can-eventstream](https://github.com/canjs/can-eventstream) usable? - can is use this repo? [https://github.com/canjs/can-control-modifier](https://github.com/canjs/can-control-modifier) or this [https://github.com/canjs/can-util-function](https://github.com/canjs/can-util-function) - or is there a better way to do this with the define plugin? is canjs in a position to work with [RxJS](http://reactivex.io/)? how can this look like? or is there a big gap between the compute technology and streams? ---

Our eventstream stuff is a little outdated, no one’s been maintaining it. There’s not a big gap between streams and computes, they work very well together imo. So you can definitely use RxJS with canjs, but I don’t know if it’s needed in this scenario. If you want to debounce an input why not use lodash which has a debounce?
