+# Pend
+
+Dead-simple optimistic async helper.
+
+## Usage
+
+```js
+var Pend = require('pend');
+var pend = new Pend();
+pend.max = 10; // defaults to Infinity
+setTimeout(pend.hold(), 1000); // pend.wait will have to wait for this hold to finish
+pend.go(function(cb) {
+ console.log("this function is immediately executed");
+ setTimeout(function() {
+ console.log("calling cb 1");
+ cb();
+ }, 500);
+});
+pend.go(function(cb) {
+ console.log("this function is also immediately executed");
+ setTimeout(function() {
+ console.log("calling cb 2");
+ cb();
+ }, 1000);
+});
+pend.wait(function(err) {
+ console.log("this is excuted when the first 2 have returned.");
+ console.log("err is a possible error in the standard callback style.");
+});
+```
+
+Output:
+
+```
+this function is immediately executed
+this function is also immediately executed
+calling cb 1
+calling cb 2
+this is excuted when the first 2 have returned.
+err is a possible error in the standard callback style.
