Minimum Viable Async with Node 6

With the release of Node 6.0.0, the surface of code that needs transpilation to use ES6 features has been reduced very dramatically.

This is what my current workflow looks like to set up a minimalistic and fast microservice using micro and async + await.

The promise

import React from 'react';
import $script from 'scriptjs';

require('postscribe/htmlParser/htmlParser.js'); // This is required for postScribe, postScribe is a bit annoying.
const postscribe = require('exports?postscribe!postscribe'); // Needs webpack exports-loader! Otherwise, just require it and use window.postscribe.

// This GlobalAdCodePromise is a simple promise that uses script.js to load a javascript file and then resolve.
const GlobalAdCodePromise = new Promise((resolve) => {
    setTimeout(() => {
        $script('http://annoying.adprovider.com/ad.js', () => {

Better local require() paths for Node.js

When the directory structure of your Node.js application (not library!) has some depth, you end up with a lot of annoying relative paths in your require calls like:

const Article = require('../../../../app/models/article');

Those suck for maintenance and they're ugly.
