A base class for writing concurrent processes, with abort, until, race and settle.

const EventEmitter = require('events')

// K combinator, not necessary, just for fun
const K = x => y => x

// this class is mainly for settle logic.
// the concrete class should emit a 'finish' event with err/data at the end of the process
