Upstart for Javascript
by Jiang on Jul.04, 2008, under Computing
Upstart is the new event-based *nix startup daemon that’s all the rage these days. It is also a little event-based startup manager I cooked up for Javascript applications. Basically, chunks of application are started up in an order that satisfies all dependencies.
What’s the use of an event-based startup manager if Javascript is largely linear? It’s pretty pointless at the moment, I suppose. But with the advent of multithreaded Javascript, there might be some value in controlling code execution this way.
The code can be downloaded here.
Oh, and happy July 4th to those who celebrate.
