Agreed. This is very well written.

I discovered the joy of Go from dealing with JavaScript promises while writing an API service in Node. So many painful runtime errors uncaught or unlogged because promises don’t (or didn’t) require the catch callback.

I think inverting the programming perspective to default to sync instead of async is more productive for web services development, than perhaps for UI.
