| # Construct a chained array of callbacks that "thread" a sequence of async functions in the smallest possible code. | |
| # tldr; call the next async function in fn, "wait" for its callback to store the result and call the next async callback in cb | |
| # each async function | |
| # accepts 1 callback argument | |
| # passes 1 arg of result data to the callback | |
| # construct the callback | |
| # when callback in cb evaluates, replaces itself in cb array with the result | |
| # calls the next callback in cb | |
| # after last callback in cb, return joined results stored in cb |
