Moved: Consistent return with train and evolve methods

This issue has been moved from Neataptic.

If i run network.evolve the function return a promise with the result, but if i run network.train i get a result.

Shouldnt they be consistent? shouldnt both of them return a promise?

Owner's reply:

That is because network.evolve is an async function and network.train is a sync function. There is not a lot I can do about it, except for creating two seperate functions for network.evolve, e.g.:

network.evolveSync();
network.evolve()

But network.evolveSync wouldn't be able to use multithreading capabilities then. However, it seems a good idea to add a network.trainAsync() function.

Personally, I think every long task should be async by default and there should be a "sync" method for each one.
