The author of this text, Eddie Zaneski, presents a proposal for ECMAScript 2016 (ES7) that aims to improve the experience with asynchronous programming in JavaScript. The current approach relies heavily on callback functions, which can be difficult to work with and understand. The proposed solution is called Async/Await, which allows developers to write asynchronous code that looks synchronous and uses common programming constructs like return statements. This makes it easier to read and write, while still allowing for the performance benefits of asynchronous I/O operations. The author provides examples of how to use this feature in real-world scenarios, such as making HTTP requests and sending text messages using the Twilio Node.js library.
