---------------------------------

Thanks, [~mtth]! I'll have a look sometime this week. I'm just back from PTO so I have a few things in the pipeline ahead of it.

> This patch adds protocols to the JavaScript implementation.
> The API was designed to:
> + Be simple and idiomatic. The `Protocol` class added here is heavily inspired by node.js' core `EventEmitter` to keep things as familiar as possible [1]. Getting a client and server working is straightforward and requires very few lines of code [2].
> + Support arbitrary transports, both stateful and stateless. Built-in node.js streams are supported out of the box (e.g. TCP/UNIX sockets, or even stdin/stdout). Exchanging messages over a custom transport requires implementing a single simple function (see [3] for an example).
> + Work both server-side and in the browser!
> Ps: I also tested against both the Java and Python implementations over HTTP and communication worked.
