> Purely out of curiosity, what do you think would be an appropriate interface for delivering/consuming high frequency data? Based on my experience with JavaScript programs (running in node.js on a variety of platforms) that either read sysfs GPIO directly or via some compiled native bindings, delivering an indication of value change or value read by emitting an event has been both extremely efficient. It's also very intuitive for those writing the programs. > Composability is not a good argument. Any of these things is just as composable as the other when you add enough methods. Agreed. > "sensors are pull data but users might like push data interfaces more"? This is actually my exact experience with anyone that's ever used JavaScript to interact with sensory hardware. > EventTarget is a horrible interface. Yes, ideally a standardized `EventEmitter` or similar would be preferable. -- GitHub Notif of comment by rwaldron See https://github.com/w3c/sensors/issues/21#issuecomment-108037449
