It really reminds me of LiveScript's "back-calls" [1], which were a solution for callback hell in JS.

That was way more than a solution for callback hell. With some plumbing, you could get Continuation monad working! With no further support from the language, too. I really miss LiveScript, it's a shame its development stopped. If only it could emit TypeScript, it would still have a chance to fight back, I think.
