Pipelines asynchronous tasks by abstracting the recursive `setTimeout` calls.

pipe.js

const pipe = (...tasks) => {
  const dominos = [];
  const fellDomino = () => {
    setTimeout(() => {
      if (!dominos.length) return;
      dominos.pop()();
    }, 0);
  };
  tasks.forEach((task, i) => {
    dominos.unshift(() => {
      console.debug(`Domino ${i}`);
      task();
      fellDomino();
    });
  });
  console.debug(`Lined up ${dominos.length} domino(s).`);
  fellDomino();
};


// Example:

pipe(
  console.log.bind(console, 'kick'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'kick'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'kick'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'kick'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'kick')
);
console.log('Next');
pipe(
  console.log.bind(console, 'react'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'react'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'react'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'react'),
  console.log.bind(console, 'react')
);
