    Hi Luna, from my perspective async.js is about control flow whereas operations.js is about creating well defined operations that can be composed, queued, cancelled, reused and moni…

    Yeah, operations.js is meant for more complex scenarios than that. For example if we were spawning hundreds of operations that interact with networks/file systems. We can set an up…

    Many thanks for this! This has been a thorn in my side for a while but never got round to doing anything about it...

    I know a few of the investment banks have this kind of thing internally, implemented as a DAG: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directed_acyclic_graph . Cool stuff.

    Tbh, probably fairly bad atm. I haven't done anything empirical but atm Silk will create a record for every SQL query executed during the request/response cycle effectively doublin…

    That's not a bad idea, it would probably be more natural than the rigid filters that are currently in place for the requests and profiles. As far as having this running in prod I'v…

    Not at the moment. Silk doesn't actually save anything down until right at the end of the cycle i.e. in process_response of the middleware. Had to do this to avoid issues with atom…

    Never. To upgrade to Mavericks I just created a USB installer using unibeast, booted from USB and followed the usual OSX install process. All my files and apps were left untouched.…
