When looking at Koa I stumbled upon installation:

$ npm install koa

To use Koa you must be running node 0.11.9 or higher for generator support, and must run node(1) with the --harmony flag. If you don’t like typing this, add an alias to your shell profile:

alias node='node --harmony'

That lead me to research generators.

And discover great site like http://callbackhell.com/ that advises to

• Name your functions
• Keep your code shallow
• Modularize!
