var source = Rx.Observable.defer(function () {
    return Rx.Observable.return(42);
});

var subscription = source.subscribe(
    function (x) {
        console.log('Next: ' + x);
    },
    function (err) {
        console.log('Error: ' + err);
    },
    function () {
        console.log('Completed');
    });

// => Next: 42
// => Completed

/* Using a promise */
var source = Rx.Observable.defer(function () {
    return RSVP.Promise.resolve(42);

var subscription = source.subscribe(
    function (x) {
        console.log('Next: ' + x);
