I am not sure the wheel can be rediscovered many more times but definitely check out Kris's work from around 2010-2012 around q-connection and streaming/rpc of chunks of data. Promises themselves have roots in this and there are better formats for this.

Check our mark miller's E stuff and thesis - this stuff goes all the way back to the 80s.
