It's easy to write JS in async, node gives you "event".
Here's an example.

I'm sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find

A lot of people would like to use Javascript for their web backend,
but don't want to program in an async style (I believe those reasons
have already been discussed at length).
As it stands right now, it is practically impossible to program in
Node.js in a sync style, since most core modules and native extensions
only provide an async interface.
I believe there would be an easy way to change the status quo without
impacting developers who chose to adhere to a strict async style. The
solution I propose is simply a pattern for writing I/O APIs: every I/O
call should be async /unless/ no call back is supplied, in which case
the I/O call should be sync and use return / throw statements instead
of calling a callback.
There is probably a flaw in my reasoning since I'm probably not the
first one to come up with this pattern. That being said, I think it
would be an elegant way to make both async/sync fans happy while
keeping all the backend JS community focused on one project rather
than fragmenting the community in multiple CommonJS server
implementations.
Thoughts?
