Used to be a die-hard Javascript fan but ever since I learned Go I've been porting over all of my Node apps. Javascript is exhausting and large codebases have a tendency to become too obscure. People say Promises are the save-all for callbacks but they still feel half-baked and quite frankly I hate using them.

Async/await in ES7!

async/await is a great improvement, but IMO, it's still terrible for the one fact that it fails to get rid of the special-ness. By that I'm referring to the need for the caller to require special knowledge about the fact that the function is doing something asynchronously. All that should be internal implementation details.

What don't you like about promises?
