Wait for <x> and <y>
The wait syntax in hyperscript does a great job of enabling event controlled flow. However, it has trouble when waiting on more than one event at the same time. For example:
on closeModal(event)
add .closing to #modal
async do
if theURL is not null then
fetch theURL then
put it into #main.innerHTML
end
trigger fetchDone
end
wait for animationend
wait for fetchDone
remove #modal
end
This should work if animationend finishes before fetchDone, but it deadlocks if fetchDone completes first.
I think hyperscript would benefit from a wait for x and y syntax that is similar to Promise.all() that only returns after all of the events have triggered.
This might be generalized to other kinds of operations, such as wait for any of x and y and z but my first guess is that this would be less commonly useful.
