I think the real problem is with readable streams. Writable streams are pretty easy to implement, but the readable side is unnecessarily difficult and too easy to get wrong.
Here's a proposal in code: https://github.com/isaacs/readable-stream The readme explains the position, and the implementation makes it easy to play around with. A base class and a fs readable stream class are provided. Note that Readable.pipe() is very short and simple :) On Sun, Jul 15, 2012 at 7:25 PM, Dominic Tarr <dominic.t...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've been writing and using a lot of streams lately, > and have some proposals for some small changes to node's streams. > > https://gist.github.com/3117184 > > in some parts it's a tightening up on expected behaviour, > in others it's a few small changes to Stream#pipe. > > cheers, Dominic
