sugar to handle node-style callbacks about asynquence HOT 6 CLOSED

TBH I like the feature but I don't like the name ;) methods with a callback are not only happening in the node world ;)

I don't have a good proposal though.

(no comment on the suggestions themselves as I don't know your lib good enough)

methods with a callback are not only happening in the node world

Of course. But the specific callback format cb( err, ...) is pretty strongly known as "node-style callbacks" in modern JS. Handling normal callback taking methods (that is, not in this specific format) are already easily possible without any additions:

ASQ(function(done){ setTimeout(done,1000); }) ...

But yeah, the name sucks. I just haven't come up with anything better yet. :)

So far, the leading suggestion IMO is "error-first callback" for the name of this style of callbacks.

Should the API name be "efcb" or "efcallback" or "errfirstcb" or "errfirst" or "efback" or "efstyle" or...?

from asynquence.

I kinda like "efirst" or "efback" the most. [edit] actually, I like "efcall" the best so far. [edit #2] I think I've decided on "efcall".

I'd put my vote on errcb. Because it's an error-first callback, imo the 'first' part is obvious enough because of the strong convention (can't remember the last time I saw a callback that accepted an err argument and didn't put it first)

from asynquence.

I settled on errfcb and errfcb().
