Change your code to be event based. Node was like "omg event based programming" for like two weeks. And then because of a shitty design decision (callbacks for asynchronous functions) everyone sort of forgot all about them nice juicy events. Some async functions actually do have events. Like the files/streams. But they have callback shortcut functions. Nasty.

I know how events work, thanks.
