I think it could be less code, correct me if I do wrong:

function asyn(generator) {
  var iterator = generator()
  var job = iterator.next()
  var next = function() {
    if (typeof(job.value) == "function") {
      job.value(function(error, val) {
        if (error) return console.error(error)
        job = iterator.next(val)
        if (!job.done) next()
      })
    }
  }
  next()
}
