It depends what is in your head when you wrote this. The code snippet doesn't
tell that much. Registering a Block for execution on request is probably not
what makes you excited about. What is exciting about it is that javascript is
written in a strictly asynchronous manner (event driven) and that matches
perfectly the implementation with asynchronous I/O. Suddenly you can write
programs they way you ever wanted it. And lucky for us smalltalk itself is
event driven so it can go there easily, too. Well, easily would mean to have
support for asynchronous I/O in the vm (file operations) and in the socket
plugin at least.
Is that what you asked?
