Is there any way to support the hdс1080 sensor?

Callbacks are an option, but I tend to like promises more :P But still, that makes the actual call "nested" in a sense.

I'm looking for a possible way to just do

var data = hdc.read();

and it "just works." This would be possible with async/await but from what I can see it's not yet available in Espruino (yet).

If Espruino had a delay I can do away with the setTimeout and just delay for a few ms at that point and everything should work (this is actually how the Arduino libraries do it) but delay doesn't sound like the Espruino way of doing things.
