Does node.js support the * though. I tried their example and getting this:

  app.use(function *(next){
                   ^
  SyntaxError: Unexpected token *

It requires node v0.11.3 or above and the --harmony-generators flag at launch.

Or use gnode, which will down-compile it to ES5 for current stable node.

You probably need the `--harmony-generators` or `--harmony` flag.
