We are using RxJava and Hystrix with Clojure @ SoundCloud. All our Observables come from Hystrix cmds. I've have not added any wrappers around the RxJava stuff yet, not really felt the need. I've found it convenient to pass in fns but I would also be happy with what you suggest below (rx/fn). I suspect in those cases I might start wrapping rx/fn, so it continues to look like the current behaviour (recognising Clojure fns).
