I remember doing a deep dive into node and evented JS a couple years ago and I realized that I couldn't recommend it to my team because the code would become such a huge mess on an large system that whatever performance you gain, you lose in maintainability in a large team environment.
The best I could find at the time is IcedCoffeescript, which sort of replaces the whole existing coffee script tooling, so now you are dealing with custom tooling to install for each team member as well.
I find it sad that years later it looks like what IcedCoffeescript did is still the cleanest looking solution to the problem. It feels like the evented model is maybe great for smaller things, but horrible for building and reasoning about in larger systems on larger teams.
