Coming from a C#/Haskell and Python/Gevent (same issues), I think your arguments are not that relevant. Raw callback style sucks, everybody knows that. That's why there is a ton of "helper" libraries, and that's why most other languages are moving away from this pattern. It might be okay as a base for higher-level abstractions but basically asynchronous callback style was invented because thats the way the OS can easily maintain many concurrent io operations but thats not the way you should structure your code. After a few of haskell I really see the importance about composable components, and callbacks do not compose well! Generators are not the best way, I know. But it's the best the Ecma community comes up with... Ideally we would have only green threads in every language, but this might never happen =((
