> CoffeeScript won't solve the problem since it is still ultimately limited by Node.js' async libraries. I wouldn't be too sure about that. .net 4.5 is coming out with an await and async keywords which will basically signal to the compiler that method should be re-written to an asynchronous. So for the example you gave, if the await keyword was available in coffeescript, you could just write: await console.log(user.referrer.name); And the coffeescript compiler could then re-write callback style.
