Spec for Node.js callback-style (CPS1)

[Morris Brodersen]

Motivated by questions like:

• Which is a better way of writing callbacks?
• What is the suggested callback style for Node.js?

I figured Node's main callback style might need a spec, so I attempted to write one: Continuation-Passing Style 1. I think there are only a few exceptions in Node that don't conform, like http.request. Looking forward to discussing it!

I really like that idea! I will follow!

Thanks for your interest! It seems to work well as it is, so I released version 0.1.0. I also wrote a very small wait-for-parallel-callbacks mechanism as a proof of concept: https://www.npmjs.com/package/joinback

I'm still looking for reviews, issues, clarifications, or any other contributions. Do you know of a good way to promote the spec some more? Also, if anybody adds CPS1-compliance as a feature to their project, please let me know.
