It's a shame the v8 5.5 backport (https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11029) didn't make it in but it looks like it won't be long.

There is a lot to like about Node. I had a look a couple of years ago but lack of a definitive library to handle callback hell put me off. How is the situation these days?

These days you can use: Promises, generators and even async/await.

Add --harmony flag to enable stable ES7 features (or transpile with Babel) and use async/await, it's marvellous.
