I suppose this is off topic, but I'm not exactly sure where to post. I
figure it has about as much chance to be seen here by the right person as
anywhere else.
I would like to ask the gods of javascript to consider a new keyword, (if
it is not there already).
I would like to be able to do this in code:
{
X = somefunction;
X.applyAsyncAndWait(X,args);
}
It could work many different ways. I'm thinking the most powerful way
would to be something like this:
{
X = somefunction;
__split_by_generating_closure_for_current_ip_then_generating_new_empty_stack_with_new_stack_frame_and_pushing_X_wth_args__(X,
args);
}
If this existed it would *vastly* simplify code. (at least the code I am
writing)
It would basically give us equivalent single threaded multi threading from
8088 days. Lol.
All the callback, code segmentation things could go away.
Clearer code. less bugs.
Anyway,
I'm sorry that you must spend all of your days with this language. I find
it irksome, slow and forceful of fragmented programming. Although I
suppose you would say it is the future.
Perhaps you are right. I would be nice if javascript ran faster. Things
are so slow it is almost unbearable.
Although I remember vaguely people saying the same thing about C++. Some
people still do. Lol.
Why not consider as well introducing optional type keywords. Hints to the
compiler so that you can statically compile segments (and compile errors
yay), maybe even reach performance of Java JIT, instead of V8 JIT, which
is, despite all of the hype, about 100 times slower than Java JIT.
