Synchronous API ?

[mcarbonneaux]

with promise there no way to get synchronous resulte for now...
it means not to have synchronous api in parallel of the asynchronous API?
beceause some time they need synchronous, and some time asynchronous ...

@mcarbonneaux I believe the answer here is that you want to avoid any sync operation that is CPU bound.

A Sync API of the WebCrypto API would be useful inside a WebWorker context though.

I’m gonna make a judgement call that based on what I know, there’s not gonna be any browser-engine implementor interest in this. If anybody feels strongly about it otherwise, and is ready to commit to driving implementor discussion around it, then let me know and we can re-open this.
