You don't know what you are talking about. Not _everyone_ is sticking to callbacks. Many (if not most) are now on promises or async/await.
Also you slipped in weasel language to disrespect JS developers. I have been coding for 30 years in wverything from assembly to C++ to C# to OCaml to now for the last several years mainly Node.js. Your comment was (reading between the lines) as close as you could get on Hacker News to spitting in my face.
Promisifying works fine. So do rewrites, as the language has evolved rapidly.
We do not actually have a big backwards compatibility problem.

Dynamic languages are dynamic.
