The

3

Stages

of

insanity!

Writing JavaScript!

Let's talk about asynchronous in JavaScript

synchronous flows are easy ...

synchronous flows are easy ...

Blocking is easy :D

synchronous flows are easy ...

but we don't want to block!

we want to wait :)

The Pyramid of DOOM!

The Pyramid of DOOM!

Promise Waiting

Promise chain - HELL

A better looking Promise chain - HELL

try and handle the error cases on this one.

Promise 

What I want

What WE have :)

Still not up to date - the new way of waiting...

Generator functions

A generator is  a function that can return multiple values.

Generator functions

to the code!

Generator - split personality

Generator - the untapped power

Generator - the untapped power

All of that is a little to much and so what do we do ?

Get to the future... which is now!

Async - wirting code that looks like it blocks but it actually waits.

What I want

What We have :)

Async - is this the promise land ?

Async - maybe ?! async I/O

2. we can't use async within an async function

go to code!

1. we can't use async for flows that require parallel requests

We are missing something ...

Observable

async function* - the future!

To insanity and beyond!
