Node has had problems with async-programming model and error-handling since the very beginning, but the ecosystem has evolved, and has a wide array of solutions to both these problems. It isn&#x27;t anyone&#x27;s fault that best-practices aren&#x27;t followed. If the code is open-source, then its easier to fix because node-modules, more often than not, are &quot;unix-ey&quot; in that they do one thing, and hopefully, you expect that it does that well.<p>I think you&#x27;d find the real problem is with the tendency by the maintainers to abandon a lot of these modules...
