I prefer TypeScript over plain JS and would like a strongly typed way for dealing with event emitters.

So, I created fancy-emitter. I figured there are many other improvements which could have been made to the events module so I tried to make use of all of them and make the underlying JS engine deal with the scheduling.

Really loved it from first glance. I wanted something similar when I was debugging an odd problem from events last year.

Thanks, hope it helps next time you need to debug.
