   Someone posted this graph[1] recently showing how Coinbase application installs have dropped off significantly in the last few months. It makes me wonder how much growth there is left if adoption amongst casual users has declined so precipi

    Yep. I am just wondering if the paradigm of JS being asynchronous is just not worth the added effort in code complexity and all the workarounds that have had to be added in over the years to try to make it manageable. I personally find it a
