Hello. This is a problem newcomers face so often that there is a website for it http://callbackhell.com/
This website show that "callback hell" is really just about how you structure your code. Any construction that increase your cyclomatic complexity is bad (callbacks, promises, generators and whatnot included). The most effective method I found for handling this is reading callbackhell.com and Clean Code [1] [1] http://www.amazon.com/Clean-Code-Handbook-Software-Craftsmanship/dp/0132350882 On Monday, 15 September 2014 18:28:28 UTC+2, Ingwie Phoenix wrote: > > Hai, everyone. > > So I just figured out that Connect’s static file servers dont work well > with symlinks…so I had tow rite myself a little workaround, a fallback > router, per-se.
