Bruno, we are evangelizing callbacks because this is the only it can
possibly work in JavaScript. You can add a preprocessing step (which
is apparently what streamline is doing) - we will not do that. You can
add some crazy longjmp  in your extension and juggle executions stacks
and try to forget how much memory they are or fight with stack over
flows - we will not do that. JavaScript has a run-to-completion model
which we do not seek to circumvent. Node is JavaScript - even more
than that - Node is V8 JavaScript. If V8 adds generators, we will have
them - if not then not. One of the key reasons Node is successful
(unlike all of other server-side JS systems) is because it actually
uses JavaScript and not some JavaScript-like language.

I'm glad you like Node.  As you said, it is simple and fast. It got
that way by keeping things simple and fast. It will remain simple and
fast by continuing to strive for those goals.

This is a discussion to bring up with the EcmaScript committee.
