The UI code we've written so far remains unchanged, but we need to make sure RxClojure is declared in the dependencies section of our project.clj file:

[io.reactivex/rxclojure "1.0.0"]

Then, ensure we require the following library:

(ns stock-market-monitor.core
  (:require [rx.lang.clojure.core :as rx]
