I agree. I had the same frustration a few months ago and various Twisted people pointed out missing features in Jquery deferred: * http://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-python/2011-June/024146.html Mochikit is the best (and original) JS port of deferred..Dojo and Google Closure both credit Mochikit (and Twisted) in their source code. I'm planning to revert back to it. I guess it would be useful / constructive to compile a list of the weaknesses in the jquery / commonjs deferred API and the reasons and use cases for the Twisted deferred API. Perhaps they can be persuaded to evolve towards the Twisted API in time. -RichardW. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
