Those who enjoyed this and streams2+ in general may find useful this library we've made to use objectMode streams in the browser. http://github.com/Livefyre/stream There are quite a few tests if you want to get a feel for how streams work: https://github.com/Livefyre/stream/blob/master/tests/spec/re...
For a concrete implementation, check out our SDK. We use streams to abstract away the details of paging out Content from our APIs. There is an example in the README. https://github.com/Livefyre/streamhub-sdk
These streams power the bottom 5 apps you see here: http://apps.livefyre.com/
Anybody know how to dynamically zip things on the fly? Like if you want to generate a download for a user that has files and folders... how can you do this fast and in one go? Currently I have to literally write to disk, then zip it, and only then can I finally send a response. Any help?
My only complaint about Resig's blogging is that he doesn't do it enough! It's rare that I read one of his posts and don't come away having learned a lot.
Not as much to learn today, but with the really neat tool I can certainly learn from it, so I can't complain.
Great tool. However, since this is an extremely obvious example, I have to attempt once again to point out that textual programming languages are far from ideal representations in many problem domains. The inability or refusal of programmers to accept visual and interactive tools is the main thing holding back software development. I think the main reasons are related to false outdated beliefs about the nature of programming and a fear of being labeled as a novice, since interactive graphical tools are always categorized as being for novices. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/461796/dataflow-programmi... http://noflojs.org/

I started looking into Streams 2 days ago and boom this headline greets me on hacker news today. Thanks a bunch Mr Resig.
Wow. nodestreams.com is great. It's really helpful to see the results of different chained combinations instantly. Thanks for making this John.
