atlas

just downloaded the april ctp of atlas and have started having a muck around.
There is definitely some interesting stuff to be playing with, especially in terms of making a web app mroe responsive to a user.

i've started working on a new idea, which poses an issue of how to deal with calling several long running functions, an interesting use of atlas would be to allow functions return their data separately rather than having to postback the entire page and then wait for all the functions to return before returning the page.
