Hello Chi, The Apache Thrift Node and Browser based javascript libs are the most divergent in all of Thrift. While this is not exactly a good thing, I think the historical influence leading to this is the async nature of both platforms. I will take a look at the pull request you mentioned and see if I can get it integrated. If you have other ideas for improvements patches are always welcome.
