- It implies that async execution is equivalent to callback hell. In reality there are excellent ways to have async code which looks just like sync (generators, async/await).
- It benchmarks multi-core (sync) vs single-core (async) and makes claims based on the results.
- It presents async execution as an antipode of clustering. In reality it's a best practice to make use of both.
...and everything that follows is just irrelevant.
Instead, you can yield promises inside generator functions, or better yet use async/await with a transpiler. Both methods give you nice sync-looking code.

I generally share this opinion. However, in this case no open source solution came close to the features offered by FoundationDB. There are a couple of attempts (like CockroachDB) which could achieve something similar in the future.
One more reason for me to hate Apple now.
That's not true, at least in some countries. For example, see this case in France from 2009:

> "We've long said the GNU GPL is enforceable, and of course we're pleased to see another court reaffirm that fact," said FSF France president Loic Dachary in a statement. "It's a commonly held belief that only the copyright holder of a work can enforce the license's terms—but that's not true in France. People who received software under the GNU GPL can also request compliance, since the license grants them rights from the authors."
