Have you looked into bluebird[1]? It and most of the available promise libraries have a nodify-esque function where you can simple do this: var fs = Promise.promisifyAll(require("fs")); And all of the regular methods in fs are now promisable. Q also seems to be one of the slowest[2] promise libraries there is. I'm not sure why so many people use it. That guy has a rather large benchmark table from a couple months ago as well and Q seems to be shockingly slow compared to the dozen or so other promise libraries out there. 1. https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird https://github.com/petkaantonov/bluebird 2. http://spion.github.io/posts/why-i-am-switching-to-promises.html http://spion.github.io/posts/why-i-am-switching-to-promises....
