  • no problem, Dan. you have a nice site
  • Yeah! I said "If you use it [synchronous], you are not cool!" but it was more a joke than anything else. It's just that today's web application overuse the async but I guess that sync has its advantages sometimes. I'm not always serious when I write things like that, keep that in mind!

    Still, I'm glad to know you are a reader of javascript kata.
  • i guess cause you said that if you use XMLHttpRequest in a synchronous manner, you are not cool. well I'm using it synchronously and it annoys me everyday, but i didn't have a say in the decision. The customer doesn't want the user to be able to interact with the browser while the XMLHttpRequest and callback are being executed.
  • Andrew, why do you say that? You are cool! Every reader of javascript kata is cool... you didn't know?
