For heaven's sake, why should it have your "keypress" and not my "mousemove", her "resize", his "touch", their "click", or everyone's "change" actions? Or are you suggesting that it should have all of them as top-level events, and then every time someone needs a new event we have to expand this API? And what are your semantics for "wait" in a single-threaded language? What does it mean? How does it affect the rest of the host environment (browser, server, other) where the Javascript runs? Are you talking about something like continuations, or do you really expect to pause the entire execution of the engine while you wait for your prince^B^B^B^B^B event to come? Or are you simply whining, "This is not working like some other language I used to know, and I don't want to bother learning anything about this one? Why can't someone fix this so I don't have to bother using my brain? Come on guys, help me out? Please?" Because that's certainly what it sounds like. -- Scott
