Consider rewritten version
mclark-newvistas opened this issue · comments
When I was trying to figure out the code I wrote my own version to analyse it. Since we can't use that anymore, I might as well share it in case you've any use for it. Remember that the number of bugs is a function of the number of lines/tokens.

So, I'm just now getting into deepstream with the rethinkdb plugin... do you have to have the rethink client driver to get the data from deepstream? doesn't that kinda defeat the point of having deepstream in the first place?
Deepstream is not a database, but a message broker. The purpose of the
rethink client driver is to give deepstream a place to stash data at
rest; any datastore could be used. The advantage of Rethink+deepstream
is the proactive record change notifications, which Rethink cannot
safely deliver to the client by itself. Horizons is an attempt at
solving the Rethink->browser data connection, but when choosing a
framework for development we felt it lacked vital security features, as
many other alternatives for "backend-less" programming did. All would be
adequate for a small site on a trusted intranet; deepstream was adequate
for a large site on the public internett.
