- hackerboos 13y agoTwisted (Python) and EventMachine (Ruby) don't all of these do the same thing?
- dsego 13y agoI believe twisted was an inspiration for node.
- thedufer 13y agoYes. But they are tacked on to the language after the fact rather than built in from the beginning. My experience is that both language and libraries support that kind of pattern better in node than in Python (no Ruby experience with async).
- dsego 13y agowere those in the language before or after node came out?
- bitwalker 13y agoasync/await are just sugar over the much older asynchronous delegate pattern that has been in the language since day one. So yes, they were.
