> NodeJS is a framework. Huh, I had no idea. Sometime around Node 8.x, the async/await functionality in the ECMA spec was finally added to the stable API and I began to enjoy writing Javascript as a result. The language had a feature that was good, but the abstraction did not yet fully support it without a flag. The ECMAScript language is a good language.
