Hi!

While learning about streams I ended up trying to write a module that reads
several files and concatenates them. I liked the idea of writing it as a
Stream mostly because of the API and how it plays along with other streams:

combo.createStream(['foo.js',
'bar.js']).pipe(zlib.createGzip()).pipe(httpResponse);

At first I thought about keeping a stack of files, creating reading streams
sequentially and firing only "data" events until I emptied the stack. But
"sequential" doesn't sound fast.

I'm having trouble finding good information about streams, so I thought
about asking here. Do you think it makes sense to use streams in this case?
Should I open all streams at the same time and fire "data" events in order?
Or is the callback based version enough? What other advantages do streams
provide compared to the callback based API?

Thanks,

Juan
