" summary

Claims that streams are a delayed list data structure that represent potentially infinite data and let code operate without holding everything in memory, with concrete distinctions: node streams are push streams, ES2015 generators are pull streams, and backpressure is the real overload risk. Demonstrations include a cascading RSS renderer (Last Week Blog) that streams items to the page, a SpaceTime app using gulp and fetch (fetch lacks streams yet), a Millennials Snake People extension using Object.observe, and experiments with rxjs next and Highland that all function as shown.
