Well, I think Jake was talking about queuing the callbacks and waiting for the event to return back and fire those callbacks. This is a pattern that I try to avoid inside Node.js because of the potential memory leaking probability.
What if something went wrong and the event never "ping back"? Your callback will stay there ocuping memory. -- Att, Alan Hoffmeister 2013/1/16 Katsumoto <[email protected]> > What abuse or problem could be here if this is normal async flow, event > handler could return error as first argument. > > среда, 16 января 2013 г., 8:54:31 UTC+2 пользователь Raynos написал: >> >> You guys realize that using events to effectively call a series of >> functions in parallel or series is abuse of the event emitter right. >> >> What your doing there is RPC over events.
