Isaac Schlueter
Joyent/Node.js/npm
Once a great and mighty seeker of adventure, Isaac Z. Schlueter has in
recent times been reduced to a build slave for the Node.js project.
He is fascinated by pushing the limits of anarchic self-governance in
open source communities, and has an unhealthy fixation on writing
JavaScript.
Topic
Isaac will talk about the new Readable Stream interface in Node.js
0.10: What's new in the interface, how it works for files, tcp
sockets, and other streaming data sources, and what went into making
such a core change to Node at this stage of its development, and the
struggles and benefits of maintaining backwards compatibility when
developing a platform.
