Especially since es6 has an equivalently expressive feature -- generators (shallow continuations) w/o the well-documented problem of fibers (deep continuations). (And no, this is not to flame fibers. I think they're really interesting and useful as a stop gap for people that like that style until they have generators.) I do wonder though -- does anyone know if they're faking fibers on the client side? The demo shows sync interaction with the db -- are they using sync xhr? Or is it some crazy fancy rewriting, or some other exotic technique? They just did some hand-waving about latency compensation and I couldn't find anything in the docs. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
