For whatever it's worth, I was actually referring to vasync[1], not async. The similar name is due to similar semantics (and in this regard, async inspired vasync), but vasync is very much designed around debuggability: you can couple it with the postmortem support we built into mdb for node.js[2] to be able to meaningfully debug seeming hung node programs from an operating system core.
