JavaScript Callbacks are Pretty Okay

This article defends the use of callbacks in JavaScript for asynchronous programming. It acknowledges criticism and alternatives like 'asynchronous wait' but argues that with simple rules—avoiding complex anonymous functions and declaring functions after the main logic—callback-based code can be clean and readable. The author provides refactored examples to demonstrate how organized callbacks improve code clarity and maintainability.
