Research direction
Start by reading the linked blog post and the proposal about Babel transforming server-side JavaScript. No repository files, tests, entry points, or concrete acceptance criteria are named, so the first step is to define the design and what successful Node compatibility and async behavior would mean.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
In a blog post I wrote:
I’d like to do a new server-side JavaScript environment that’s compatible with Node, ie runs Node apps, no breakage, but it also eliminates the need for callbacks, promises or async/await. I believe it’s technically possible.
A friend suggested using Babel to get started.
"I could imagine a modifier keyword on a function that means this function is internally going to do async things and calls to it should block until until it completes. That could be translated by a Babel plugin into somewhat that internally uses promises queuing to make callers wait for completion. "
This is the way to start. I wonder if anyone reading this has the expertise in Babel to make this work. I'll start a thread over in the repo to discuss.
This is that thread. 💥
