FAQ
The following questions are some of the most common questions and I wanted to provide some explaination before hand.
1. Why do most tools use the sync version of a node function instead of the async version?
Naturally you want to use the async version of the node function because you can distribute heavy workloads more efficient. However if you work with a compare function or a copy function, you most likely want to know if something happened before the program completes. In this case it is better to use the sync version of the node function, so the program continues after the function completes. Don't get me wrong, I love promises and async functions, but often times it is better to wait for them to complete.
