Explore groundbreaking ES7 features for asynchronous programming in JavaScript in this JSConf US 2015 talk by Jafar Husain. Discover how proposed ES7 features could revolutionize async programming, potentially eliminating the need for callbacks in entire JS applications. Learn about the potential for writing async functions with the same level of support as regular functions, and how this could transform everyday coding practices. Delve into concepts such as reading data from streams or web sockets using simple loops, and catching async errors with try/catch statements. Gain insights into how these proposals could help developers avoid the notorious callback pyramid of doom. The 33-minute presentation includes a transcript for further study and reference.
