I considered using a proxy-based API, but I typically try to avoid proxies because I dislike metaprogramming, and didn’t see what the clear benefits would be. For instance, I am...

Yeah I haven’t really written any documentation for those packages which are mostly experimental (`0.x`). There is this page: https://repeater.js.org/docs/utilities. The reason is that I’m not entirely sure what the...

@n1ru4l What are the reasons we can’t use `static` methods? They were added in “ES6,” before async iteration even, so I’m not sure what sort of environment removing static methods...
