>  So, in Node, exception handling does interrupt the event queue. I’m pretty sure that’s bad. Maybe we should recur on ASAP instead of using a timeout.

In Node exceptions will immediately (synchronously) emit "uncaughtException", and if there is no a handler to handle such event, the program exits. ASAP ensures that exceptions are still synchronously emitted/handled. If you don't agree we could continue to discuss this further in #6.
