Go-like channel in 10 lines of JavaScript

In Go, concurrently running functions can coordinate by writing and reading from “channels”. In JavaScript, we can do the same via “remotely resolving” Promises (for single values).
Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem – ESLint

Quoting the blog post: “Linting is the act of finding patterns in code that could lead to mistakes or ensure a consistent reading experience. It’s a core piece of many JavaScript/TypeScript projects. We found lots of potential for time savings in their selector engine and AST conversion process and a perfect linter written in JS would be able to hit sub-second run times.”
