Crank, a New Front-End Framework with Baked-In Asynchronous Rendering - Q&A with Brian Kim
Brian Kim introduces Crank.js, a new front-end framework with baked-in asynchronous rendering. The framework orchestrates front-end applications' tasks and rendering with standard asynchronous generators. Crank strives to be Just JavaScript, and reduces the number of concepts that need to be acquired to write a front-end application. Gone are proprietary notions of asynchronous resources.

Extensible effects, described by some as the right way to structure programs, are crossing over to JavaScript. Extensible effects at core provide a composable and flexible way to separate concerns, while allowing to redefine the implementation of those concerns at will. William Heslam explained what extensible effects are and the benefit of using them.
