good post.

we should also prevent going too deep on callbacks nesting, also known
as "callback hell" or "christmas tree".

this is a library that helps with async handling:

a very different approach to async is with promises, here is a recent

Side note, I am looking at data-binding and observable variables to
get inspiration for web UI
