On: I love async, but I can't code like this

You have seen what the author posted later on in the discussion?

I like this syntax more: https://github.com/creationix/do

I like neither.

They're still riddled with boilerplate (anonymous functions) and are quite horrible to read and write (bracket nesting).

I sometimes wish node.js (and js in general) would adopt co-routines. They'd seem to be the perfect middle-ground here; async code that looks almost like threaded-code, and no more callback-hell.

Is that the wrong link, or are you threadjacking?

Wow, wished I saw it earlier (can't edit now). Bad paste. Correct link:

Link unrelated

(supports a few more things than just method chaining)
