Syntax highlight template literals as HTML in Sublime Text 3 for Vue.js components, Vue app instances, or other client-side JavaScript. Particularly useful for the .page.js and .component.js files in your Sails app or other Parasails project. No grunt-ing, gulp-ing, webpack-ing, brunch-ing, or supper required.

What's the big deal with Node.js and `await`?
So I really don't like most new things. The only reason I even got involved with Node.js early on was because of its sweeping promise: "One language, spoken by developers across the world." By consolidating parallel efforts, it would accelerate the pace of innovation, and quickly lead to more transformative and disruptive developer tools. It would create tremendous value for software businesses by unlocking efficiencies in the hiring and implementation process. And best of all everyone would waste less time on boring stuff.
Still, there was a problem. While it's true most developers have touched some JavaScript callbacks up there in browserland, in the bowels of the application server, there tends to be a lot more asynchronous things going on. And that causes all sorts of issues. All those callbacks also make for a way steeper

that thing everyone needs now, if you're using `await` on the front-end. Obvious caveat: Don't actually use this without babel et al

| For future reference: When attempting to set up cloudflare and heroku properly, here's how you do it: | |
| 1. Just buy the dingdang SSL cert through Cloudflare. | |
| 2. Enable Cloudflare's built-in https:// redirect functionality. | |
| 3. Use the "Full" SSL setting in Cloudflare | |
| 4. In Cloudflare, have your DNS set up to point at the normal/default DNS setting (not the special SSL one!) | |
| 5. Don't do anything related to SSL in heroku (or in your app logic) | |
| > If you choose "Partial" SSL in Cloudflare or start monkeying around with SSL in Heroku, things get kind of weird. |
