<p><strong><a href="http://groups.google.com/group/nodejs/browse_thread/thread/e6cc6f04cd0ddf14">node-v0.1.30</a></strong></p> A very significant new release of Node.js: the Twisted/Dojo-style Promise abstraction has been removed entirely, causing backwards incompatible changes to a bunch of core APIs. This means the pseudo-blocking Promise.wait() method is gone too, making it even harder to accidentally block your event loop. Instead, user-level libraries are encouraged to add Promise-style abstractions. I’m pleased to see Node sticking to the low-level stuff. <p><small></small>Via <a href="http://howtonode.org/do-it-fast">howtonode.org</a></small></p> <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/async">async</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/dojo">dojo</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/javascript">javascript</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/nodejs">nodejs</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/promise">promise</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/twisted">twisted</a></p>
