appendable queue about asynquence HOT 2 CLOSED

IIUC, I think you probably want to look at iterable sequences, because those basically do create infinitely extendable "queues" which are externally consumable rather than self-iterating like normal sequences.

At a high level, it seems you could do something like:

var queue = ASQ.iterable();

events.on("some-event",function(evt){
   queue.then(function(){ return evt.data; });
});

// elsewhere
setInterval(function(){
   var item;
   while ((item = queue.next()) && !item.done) {
      console.log(item.value); // event data
   }
},100); // process the event queue once every 100ms

The only difference to what you said is I don't really have "handlers attached to the queue", you just inspect the queue on a timer.

Another thing to look at might be the "reactive sequences" pattern. It might be able to better serve the event-based model you're talking about, and in particular you might be able to combine it with iterable-sequences as described above.

@getify Thanks! Yes, "message sending" does fit. As for consuming, I'd be happy to avoid a polling. Will dig in react :)
