   Cool :), glad it's supported, at least for the simple case of line-wise transforms. Some things can't be done without reading everything. But there are still a number of operations on "all of stdin" that can safely be done lazily. I'm particularly fond of "divide stdin into chunks of lines separated by <predicate>" [0]. Which does need context, but only enough to determine where the current chunk ends (typically a f…

   I wrote a similar tool a while back: http://gfxmonk.net/dist/doc/piep/ Mostly out of frustration for PyP not being lazy (on large inputs it reads the entire file up-front, or at least used to). But it was quite interesting to implement all the standard python idioms (like slicing) in a lazy way, and it's not that complicated a tool. I still use it a lot whenever I have a nontrivial pipeline to write.

   The problem with benchmarking raw node.js code is that not a lot of real web apps will look like that. Naked node.js pushes all the asynchronous complexity on the application writer - writing everything with callbacks is equivalent to hand-writing a state machine. Since V8 does not have native continuation support, realistically it's going to devolve to libraries either doing CPS transformation ( http://gfxmonk.net/…

   It never became production ready, but I found this article an interesting discussion of the problem and a solution to it in Coffeescript: http://gfxmonk.net/2010/07/04/defer-taming-asynchronous-java...

    Thanks for the last link[1]. It is pretty amazing. I've studied some Scheme and call/cc on college (and played around with it on Ruby), but this post made me realize how much more powerful can continuations be (besides doing basic control flow/exception stuff). A post that stands on its own, whether you like/care about Coffeescript/Javascript or not. [1] http://gfxmonk.net/2010/07/04/defer-taming-asynchronous-java...

    It's inspired by a similar tool called `pyp`, which I considered extending but ended up going my own route instead. Here's some more information on why: http://gfxmonk.net/2012/03/28/why-piep.html

    Great :D Sounds like you already found my vim feed, but yeah, it's at http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/vim-custom.xml (it's not on that index page, because nobody else is likely to want it). I've contributed to both the python & ocaml versions (and I made the logo :)). The ocaml version has not existed for all that long, I've only sent a few patches - I believe the porting itself was entirely done by Thomas, who's d…

    Ok, I hate you. I will look into 0install more seriously this time around, because you made a good pitch. Still, two questions: - The 0install feed for your customized vim install, can you link to it? - Out of curiosity, have you contributed to the Python and OCaml versions, or only one? If one, which? UPDATE: For others interested, obviously your 0install feed what onerous to find, haha. http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0in…

    I am a contributor, and I use it all the time. I publish a lot of my own stuff (mostly small utilities / libraries) at http://gfxmonk.net/dist/0install/index/ , as well as a bunch of third-party software. Making distro-specific packages for all of these would be a stupid amount of effort - with a single zeroinstall feed I can run cross-platform code without having to package it N different times. It is fairly easy t…
