I wish V8 already had generators back when node.js started. It would've been a true solution to callback hell. There's libraries like async to help with that, but it's not as good as something like tasks.js could be.
But on the other hand Twisted is not a panacea either, not that this is a perfect parallel or anything. But I agree, this is definitely a step in the right direction.
I wonder if it will be feasible to code in JS Next and have a compiler step somehow take care of backporting. Probably not.
