This is a first attempt at describing asynchronous programming in node.js. It
attempts to at least mention all considerations. It also attempts to present
experience and best-practices when such are clear.

This fixes issue #20.

"commandline" probably isn't a word on its own. Maybe "command line" or "command-line"?

Alright this gets a 👍 from me. Can we get another another reviewer from @nodejs/documentation on this?

As a document for beginners, it might be best to lead with a more concrete example of the problem we're trying to solve before introducing the solution.

Sounds good. Would you say the problem we're trying to solve is "synchronous programming" or "misunderstanding about asynchronous programming"? (The later is much easier to demonstrate/explain I think 😄 )

Closing this since we won't be merging this into this repo, but probably nodejs/nodejs.org instead.
