For example the article about callbacks basically says "use Promises" which is even more complicated then first class functions. Helpful resource: http://callbackhell.com/

I totally agree with the author here, but also would love to give some context since we have lived something like this before on Javascript IMHO: Callback hell around 2015. It used to be that if you wanted to do something async you'd have to create a new callback. This led into callback hell[1],…

That’s a really insulting way to argue your point. I’ve been writing JavaScript for 15 years. Full time for probably six years, when I dropped Rails for Node and Ember. Right now I am programming full time in a promise shop for work, so I am very familiar with that. At home I write 100% callback…

Changing the syntax is really useful to avoid Callback Hell by leveraging async/await: http://callbackhell.com/

This is another great reason never to use promises. "Callback Hell" is FUD spread by people who somehow missed the memo about the fact that you can add functions to your code. http://callbackhell.com explains it quite well. In running away from "Callback Hell" the JavaScript community ran straight…

"Callback hell" as it is described in this article is a symptom of not understanding how to flatten your code for readability. Deep nesting is a trap in every language, it's the programmers job to know how to write readable code. http://callbackhell.com/

> It's still pretty standard to compile es6 down to at least es2015 Yea, but that means if I want to use your library, I need a build chain. It used to be I could just do require("you") or and be done with it. That's what we lost. Actually I need n buildchains, one for each npm module I use. And…

Nevermind that Javascript has a hideous side too: http://callbackhell.com/ And don't get me started with Java's verbosity. Half the time Java seems completely unusable without an auto-completing IDE. And in all honesty I am a big Python fan, but only because it seems like the lesser of all evils in…
