JSOperations

An operation queue where dependencies can be set is also very relevant. For example, if you have to do 2 different json requests, followed by a render - but they are mutually exclusive, you can do a 2->1 dependency. If they do depend on each other's result, you can do a 1->1->1 I like this async syntax but I'm more fond of native JS generator trampoline. I think the JSOperation with dependencies could even use generators in its implementation. All these solutions coming about after the C# async article are very enlightening to this problem of the synchronic vs diachronic vs asynchronic. The JSOperations lib is in alpha but can be found here https://github.com/iandrewfuchs/JSOperations/blob/master/REA...

I started writing JSOperations a few months ago but didn't finish writing tests. Eventually when web-workers become standard with Blobs, they should be added in as a way to queue operations. Tests are needed, as well as the ability to suspended tasks for a certain amount of time, rather than just a single paint loop. Anyone want to become a maintainer?

I started a lib for doing large tasks like this without blocking the paint loop. Everyone is welcome to contribute. https://github.com/iandrewfuchs/JSOperations
