>I'm not sure I follow the complaints against asychronicity? Maybe when dealing with improperly complex components it becomes tricky and that I think takes experience to get a feel for I found this argument pretty confusing at first too. I think since the author is familiar with Scala he may be used to the Actor style of async programming used heavily in the Akka framework that abstracts most of the hard to understand control flow away from the programmer (http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4/scala/actors.html http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/2.4/scala/actors.html). It's a valid complaint, but as long as Javascript is the only choice for developing on the web we don't really have an alternative.
