There is no optimal solution. If there were one everyone would jump on it.
I think it is great that you developed an interesting approach to the async
problem. I think every programmer new to node should write an async
library. I wrote such a library and I learned a lot, not just about
programming node, but about the nature of async code. I used it for a
while.
Over the last several years I have found it easier and easier to just use
"boilerplate" as you described it. Here are some examples ...
*Linear code ...
*
doThing1 = ->
blah blah blah
doThing2()
doThing2 = ->
blah blah blah
done()
doThing1()
*Looping ...*
angryBirds = [bird1, bird2, bird3]
do flingOneBird = ->
if not (bird = angryBirds.shift()) then done(); return
bird.fling()
flingOneBird()
I have used this boilerplate so many times that I can type it without
thinking. It has also become very easy to read. I don't think it is hard
for others to read, but I may be wrong.
