summary
Argues that server-style streams land in the browser and shows working code: Node’s fs.createReadStream/createWriteStream, duplex echo server and transform that uppercases or replaces “whale” with emoji, plus a demo module whale it and another boat it that actually run. Shows fetch body as fetch body is a ReadableStream and how to pipeTo and pipeThrough or manually pump readers, cites ~16MB Moby Dick chunks, and notes current Blink-only support.
