Passive Models

This is an idea for scaling out certain data when transitioning to a highly clustered architecture.

TL;DR Don't just read, mostly subscribe.

Ideally suited for data that is read often, but written rarely; the higher the r:w ratio, the more you gain from this technique.

This tends to happen to certain data when growing up into a cluster, even if you have data that has a 2:1 ratio for a single server (a very small margin in this context, meaning it is read twice for every time it is written), when you scale it up, you often don't get a 4:2 ratio, instead you get 4:1 because the two writes end up being redundant. That is, if you can publish knowledge of the change fast enough that other edges don't make the same change.

Promises

The Promise API's true value lies in lifting control out of the compiler's hands, and into the hands of our runtime, using a very simple structure. Rather than the syntax of the source code being the only description of the relationship between pieces of code (e.g. a callback pyramid), now we have a simple API for storing and using those relationships.

TL;DR The core API of a Promise object should be:

.wait(cb)       # cb gets (err, result)
.finish(result) # cb will get (undefined, result)
.fail(err) # cb will get (err, undefined)

# In other words, load your async scripts in any order;
# express their relationships locally with the code.

# This is just some hobby code I wrote last night,
# I welcome comments on how to make it simpler or better.

# Works with any functions:
# > depends ["A","B"], provides "C", -> console.log "win!"
# > depends "A", -> provide "B"
# > provide "A"
