  • A more natural API for JavaScript generators
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 May 2024
    JavaScript generators are unmined gold! We've done a lot of usage of JavaScript generators as delimited continuations; using them to implement the classic shift/reset operations in JavaScript. https://github.com/thefrontside/continuation

    Built on those delimited continuations is structured concurrency for JavaScript (https://frontside.com/effection)

  • Bun, JavaScript, and TCO
    4 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 31 Dec 2023
    While working on effection (https://github.com/thefrontside/effection) we spent a bunch of time ensuring that our delimited continuations could handle deep recursive call stacks in Deno.

    PR: https://github.com/thefrontside/continuation/pull/11

    TCO would have definitely simplified this issue.

    What’s worse is hitting maximum memory callstack exception is very tricky to catch and is not reliable across runtimes. So when a user hits it it can be tricky to track down.

    The last one intends to replace redux-saga using DCs.

    These libraries rely on deliminited continuations:

    Because of this tiny implementation we are able to express any async flow construct with less code than relying on something like async/await or callbacks.
