Await, pattern matching and macros are great language features Node and CoffeeScript both lack. Nice work!

IcedCoffeeScript had await/defer three of four years ago: https://github.com/maxtaco/coffee-script/

But I agree, excellent set of features.

Async/await is coming in ECMAScript 7, so Node will have it soon.
Define "soon" haha. With the speed of adopting ECMAScript 6 this "soon" could become really long.
