Would love to hear the author's opinion on node with async/await? I sometimes use it for sysadmin tasks, and it's quite enjoyable. Mostly due to the great ecosystem. ES is certainly not made for sysadmin tasks, but I prefer it over go/python/Ruby/Perl.
- ilyash 9y agoHi. > async/await Callbacks, promises and async do not resonate with me at all. I find them inconvenient. In addition, my recent trauma is changing functions from sync to async (promises) in Node.js. We had to do it because the functionality of these functions changed. You have to change all the callers ... and their callers and so forth. I really prefer top-to-bottom execution. > Mostly due to the great ecosystem. You mean available npm packages? > ES is certainly not made for sysadmin tasks Yep, that's why it was not mentioned in the post.
