I very much like this model, but I wonder how necessary it is when we have IcedCoffeescript [1], ES6 generators + co [2], and ES7 async/await [3] as viable ways of managing async control flow within mostly synchronous-looking code, all as dialects of languages that have strong adoption. I actually think generators + co is a really strong model. Async/await gives you a slight bit of sugar, but I've realized that if y…
