Two things I wish were around when I started enig: ES6 and async/await keywords. The current code base is all async, but it's callback driven warapped with node-async. await foo() is much nicer than foo(..., (err, result) => {})


Alpha around Saturday, January 30th...

I really think async, once it clicks for people is much more straight forward. It more aligns with how a human processes tasks in general.
