Re: [whatwg/xhr] Abandon hope of removing sync XHR from the web platform? (#20)

Framework designers and architects of API's and DSL languages and tools rely on synchronous XHR requests. Do not remove this feature. Developers are whining like baby-crys because of a little bad experience they had, none.

Here's the truth from a 20+ year engineering veteran. Elite engineers and computer science professionals know how to use thread blocking features like this at the right time, in the right place, (hey isn't that pragmatic?) coupled with intelligent framework hooks and tools for post removal or disabling of these blocking calls.

We leverage xhr sync to load import statements just-in-time in the browser in under 50lines compared to using an over-engineered babel or post build tools. For production buillds, the build tool stitches any import calls so live run-time code never relies on XHR, it will be all baked by then. We're talking framework design here. Not your mom's cup cake shop that you work on in the weekends (to the kid fresh out of college with a BA in computer science) So its a great feature for real-time debugging and quick development (minus the builds on every change).

**TRUTH OF THE DECADE:**
You see, ECMAScript was infiltrated by lobbyist groups who don't know dynamically typed language concepts at all, just a bunch of young soy boys with wishes about how they want the lang to operate. The committee sold out to massive corporations of employees that instead of making javascript even more dynamic and real-time, is now pushing for strongly typed, strictness and anything the noob developers see as a problem, they lobby for removal. Developers are just that. Engineers build stacks. Developers are complaining about technology like sync xhr that they have no idea when and where to use. Developers only have a faint memory of some bad experience they had when xhr momentarily seized up their browser during an exit beacon api call. NOT our faults you're browsing some xxx website and/or torrent, ad-spamming trash sites.

Even Mozilla, Chrome.....sold out.
