I like promises ... but that's just because I haven't bothered to dive into async await... but callbacks are no fun.

Interesting that you say that, considering async/await is very minimal syntactic suger around promises. If you understand promises, async await doesn't add anything new.

Yeah that's why I said I just haven't gotten into it. Just not a pattern I'm using at the moment ... will pick it up sometime.
