That's a spot of support for callbacks...<br /><br />On the other side I can somehow understand your intend, look for example at comaprison of Node.js with a fresh Clojure library aleph (<i>"Clojure's edge on Node.js" - http://dosync.posterous.com/22397098</i>). For my eyes the Clojure code snippet there is clearer and more readable!<br /><br />But once more, if you're not a functional programmer, than Javascript should be good enough here...Marek Krjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877868679118775297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3870801931584460413.post-87196678934936451202010-07-05T20:32:36.283-07:002010-07-05T20:32:36.283-07:00JavaScript may be well suited but doesn't offe...JavaScript may be well suited but doesn't offer anything unique that is required for working in a callback environment.
