I'm trying to come up with a better concept for asynchronous programming. My first library (mesh.js) was an attempt to use a promising line of attack, but it introduced a lot of boilerplate, which no one liked (myself included)..
After a lot of head-scratching, I found the way to eliminate all boilerplate and syntactic noise, and eventually came up with completely new design -much simpler one, and much more powerful: just two functions and their combinations do the job in most practical cases. I renamed the concept to "circuit" - it's a better name for this device. https://github.com/tatumizer/circuit/blob/master/README.md At this stage, it's a design doc only, specifically targeting nodejs. I think the concept of circuit could simplify nodejs programming.. What is equally important that it uses all existing nodejs conventions and interfaces AS IS: no code generation, no wrappers, no conversions of f(x,y) into fubar(f,x,y) or anything - just pure nodejs code. I would be very interested to know opinions (even negative opinions) to improve design and find potential flaws.
