Talk Idea: Async Iterators, a new future for streams

[Qard]

• Draft Title: Async Iterators, a new future for streams
• Length: Either lightning or a 20 minute talk, I can scale it to whatever is needed. 👍

Async Iterators make for an exciting new stream-based future. They unlock a lot of possibilities that have long been quite complicated to achieve with Node.js style streams. I want to show a few examples of how async iterators can enable easier streaming of data from different sources and simplify callback and event systems.

Stephen, great topic choice!

Let us know if there's any way we can help with reviewing or giving early feedback for the talk.

If you have an early draft, or you'd like to meet up and demo it beforehand, let me know :)

I'll try and get it all put together this weekend. Right now it's just a bunch of notes. Target length is 20 minutes?

20 minutes-ish sounds great
