Is there something similar (i.e. syntactic sugar/macros for defining callbacks that provide similar functionality) for "plain" javascript as base language?

StratfiedJS (http://onilabs.com/stratifiedjs) does this and more[0]. It's more heavyweight than a set of macros, but we believe the features warrant that.

[0] including a module system, fork-join parallelism, try/catch and stacktrace support even for async code.
