" summary

Claim: streams let code process data incrementally so systems avoid holding everything in memory and model ongoing input as data. Shows Node readable stream + the Unix pipe operator, ES6 generators as pull streams, and libraries bacon j/s Highland and rxjs. Builds include a blog RSS aggregator, a space‑time visualization refactored to handle ~100,000 stars (it works after optimization), and a browser add‑on that replaces “millennials” with snake terms in Chrome and Firefox.
