If there's anyone else here, let me know. Oh, and yes I'm a real person LOL. Bye, This look interesting,so far.

I don't agree that it's a replacement for event driven development. I think they go hand in hand very well, it just brings more desktop-type development techniques to the web. Think ... Read Moreof an email client on the desktop - it has background threads to perform fetching of mail, and events to control when people interact with the already delivered mail, then more threads to send info back to the server (especially in the case of an IMAP account). This kind of thing will open up a lot of opportunities on the web.

I gave it some more thought.. and you examples would work better in threads if the threads can run over multiple CPUs... have you got any deets on that? you know… I gave it some more thought.. and you examples would work better in threads if the threads can run over multiple CPUs… have you got any deets on that?

Threads always have and will be the lazy way to get concurrency for people who can't think in terms of events :P That being said, hopefully this will enable developers to create sites that run better and smoother because it gives them concurrency in a paradigm they understand (linear code execution) there is not really much difference, just that a lot of front end developers don’t understand how to write good event driven code.
