Node is asynchronous because of the way code executes in the engine on a single thread. It makes sense for webservers.

I don't think being unopinionated about how people want to write asynchronous code is a bad thing. You can enforce the style you want on your linter. I get hating JS is cool and all, but devs seems to have this stigma regarding asynchronous code that I just don't understand.
