Re: Rise of Node

Well, you mean such a big plugin as this?

<script type="text/javascript">

function calc(i,d) {
if (d == undefined) d = 2
r = eval(i)
return (parseFloat(r.toPrecision(d)))
}

console.log(calc((0.1 + 0.2) / 10))

a = 0.1
b = 0.2
console.log(calc((a + b) / 10))

</script>

Henrik, open up a console in Chrome and type 0.1 + 0.2 and see what
Javascript thinks the answer is 😊 So already Javascript cannot do the
basic maths you describe, due it only supporting floating point numbers,
without having to implement some fixed point maths library. Try any kind of
date manipulation and you'll find yourself in a similar mess without
resorting to moment.js or some other helper library.

Nathan,

you don't have to code async if there is no need for that - a simple batch
process
that runs in its own instance hasn't other to compete with (so why async?)-
so you
code that sync - exactly as you are used to.

be aware of that nearly all async functions in node has a sync counterpart

const fs = require("fs")
fs.readFile <> fs.readFileSync
fs.writeFile <> fs.writeFileSync etc.

And BL also seems to be a big issue - what instructions has RPG to offer
that
javascript hasn't? Most BL is ADD, SUB, MULT or DIV anyway.

Nathan you are wrong, your statement should be await ...

While I appreciate the syntax improvement offered by asynchronous

functions

and await blocks, that wasn't my point. That syntax is only available
recently. And callbacks are still occurring under the covers. My point

that the event-loop architecture is poorly suited for the implementation

of

data validation, business rules, and other functional requirements of
business applications.
