FunWork - Make functions become non-blocking thougth workers.
=============================================================

Brief
-------------------------

CPU intensive calculations blocks event-loop while its execution.

Workers solve this problem, but require some extra plumbing.

FunWork combines workers and nextTick() (deasync) to avoid the mess of
dealing with workers by simply converting a function into a "worker function".

The only restriction is that it must be a pure
function because workers haven't
access to the master process scope.

That is: Source functions haven't access to scope, context and cannot modify
its arguments (or cause any side effect in any way).

npm install [--save] funwork

$3

var funwork = require("funwork");
...
var nonBlockingFn = funwork(blockingFn);

$3

``javascript

var funwork = require("funwork");

// Blocking pure function
function f0 (x){
// Do some expensive calculation:
for (var i = 0; i< 1000000000; i++) {
x--;
};
return 2 x i;
}

var f = funwork(f0);

setTimeout(function() {
console.log ("Hello World!!!");
}, 1300);

// Function calls that will be executed in backgrond thought workers:
console.log ("RESULT: ", f(7));
console.log ("RESULT: ", f(22));
