{"id":26400,"library":"slownode","title":"slownode","description":"slownode is a minimal npm package (v0.5.3) that provides persistent event loop, emitter, promise, and slow function utilities. It ships with TypeScript type definitions. The package is in early development with many terms marked as TODO in the README. It is primarily an experimental tool for working with persistent event loops and custom JASM bytecode interpretation. Current release cadence is unknown. Differentiators include a unique bytecode interpreter approach (JASM) and persistent event loop patterns.
