Late to the party about undertaker HOT 3 CLOSED

Quite late 😉 This seems like a pretty cool use of async-done but it doesn't map nicely to gulp. undertaker doesn't make async-done evented, it just adds task timing events to the execution of the functions, which is quite hard to do without controlling the entire stack. Trust me, I first tried to implement bach on top of async and it was a nightmare, which led me to write now-and-later that allows extension points on the composed function.

Haha, thanks. I wanted to write anyway. The idea of a simple way to do async composition is just so pleasant, not only for gulp but in general. The way bach api looks like and composes is just, at least for me, what it should be to compose async functions.

Yeah, control over the arguments that will construct the stack is really important otherwise all is a nightmare. Nesting, and the timing thing (or any other thing like error handling that has to be done between start and end) was the hardest to figure out. For that using async-done for completion of everything but callbacks was the solution. Provide a callback from outside and use it to glue everything. I'll write some pseudocode:
