util.toCallback(asyncFn) - interop of async functions with callbacks. #6
Description
Similar to #5 I'm looking at ways to make the lives of callback users easier with async/await landing. I'm wondering if core should provide a method called toCallback that takes an async function and converts it to a callback returning function. This is similar to asCallback except taking a function:
async function fooP() {
// some async/await stuff
// ...
return "Hello";
}
const foo = util.toCallback(fooP);
foo((err, data) => console.log(data)); // helloThe name and where it is are both debatable.

Does anyone object to making this issue non-blocking for the Promises PR?
benjamingr commentedon Feb 15, 2016
This issue is orthogonal (and certainly non-blocking) for the promises-in-core PR. It is only about async functions being more ergonomic to callback users.

Excellent! Did you see callbackify in the existing PR?

Would you object to discussing a public
util.promisifyin this issue, or would you prefer to keep that separate?benjamingr commentedon Feb 17, 2016
Well, there are different stakeholders so I'd rather keep them separate. It seems like a generally good idea to keep discussions small to include participation. I don't feel very strongly about it though.
