The other is the underlying difficulty of processing each individual “clause” in sequence, asynchronously. Alex Fritze blogged about how a project like his own Oni could dramatically simplify this underlying process.

    Ubiquity, Oni, and Composability:

    but I cannot instruct it to give me list of translated google results: 
    translate (google foo) to German  // doesn't work
    Or email me the resulting list: 
    email(translate (google foo) to German) // doesn't work
    …So how does Oni relate to this? Oni is a browser-based “embedded structured concurrency framework”. It allows you to write asynchronous code as if it was synchronous, adding back the kind-of composibility that is lost when juggling concurrent strands of execution (such as e.g. pending XMLHttpRequests) with ‘conventional’ sequential languages.
