There are async lib that helps do things synchronously. Example is: async.series([ function1, function2, function3 ]);
Making node optionally syncronous is certainly a stupid thing, node made syncronous will be PHP. Why not to use PHP to make things synchronously? Sometimes authors do another stupid thing by making syncronous things looks to be asyncronous. There is XML parser that is used like this var parser = new GreatXmlParser; parser.parse(xml, function onFinished(err, doc) {...}); Why not just return doc in parse? I never believe XML parsing in memory is asyncronous. I am not pointing to the real parser, just pointing that sometimes syncronous things should be syncronous. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
