`setTimeout' already introduces nondeterminism based on the speed of the implementation. Consider: setTimeout(f1,1000) compute() setTimeout(f2,0) If `compute' takes a long time, then `f1' runs before `f2', otherwise `f2' runs first. -- sam th [email protected] _______________________________________________ es-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/es-discuss
