+# Discussion
+
+-   Q: (Referencing the first half of your talk): How does this approach
+    compare to using tq.el, Emacs\' built-in library for transaction
+    queues?
+    -   A: Great question; should have mentioned that\... I took a look,
+        but chose to just do it \"by hand\"; I wouldn\'t have used many
+        of the features offerred by tq.
+-   Q: Have you considered using the aio.el library (written by Chris
+    Wellons) that implements async/await for Emacs lisp using promises?
+    It\'s implemented using Elisp\'s record data structure, and turns
+    the nested callback structure into regular-looking Elisp code
+    (without extra keywords etc). +1
+    -   A: I wasn\'t aware, but thanks for the pointer\-- will
+        definitely take a look
+-   Q: not to take away from your excellent work, but are you aware that
+    EMMS has an MPD client? There\'s also mpc.el built into Emacs.
+    -   A: Another great point; I am, along with mpdel (another MPD
+        client for Emacs). They are all full-fledge applications\-- I
+        just wanted a small, tight toolkit
+-   Q:Have you seen the Lonesome Pine Specials? I saw your music library
+    and figured you would be interested. My favorite is the one with
+    Edgar Meyer, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, and I think Bela Fleck and
+    Mark O\'Connor?
+    -   A: LOL I haven\'t, but I I think I will be!
+-   Q: can you share the code to the macro that creates the callback
+    tree?
+    -   A: <https://github.com/sp1ff/elmpd/blob/master/elmpd.el#L898>
+        -   thanks!
+-   Q: would using dynamic/special vars add anything interesting /
+    easier to async elisp in your opinion? i noticed you using \`let\` a
+    lot, but if you defined a variable hmm\... not sure if i can :)  i
+    was just wondering if having dynamic binding in Elisp opposed to
+    something like JS adds some power to async programming
+    -   A: lexical binding is easier to reason about :)
+-   Q: There\'s another package (chuntaro?) in addition to wellon\'s aio
+    that also implements a coroutine trampoline on the emacs event loop.
+    any thoughts on the async/await paradigm generally red/blue
+    functions, etc?
+    -   A: Longer discussion in the chat room, but I think it\'s a
+        promising if over-used approach to concurrency.
