@ShadowJonathan I get the feeling that somebody seriously misunderstands how async works. That person should first travel back to the start of the century and enter JavaScript Callback Hell, then jump forward by about 15 years to learn to appreciate promises, and then come back to learn to appreciate async.
@Denian it's a joke of a joke, the original joke was to bash async (or anything, really, look up "stop doing math") and then do it overtly so that it becomes funny, but in this case the joke is cut off strategically because of the whole "await" thing
@Denian @ShadowJonathan Thanks to promises and await, I can now write synchronously blocking code in JS!
