I almost threw the JavaScript hashtag on that post. 😈

If the language prefers async-by-default, I'd prefer not to use it for scripting... even if "script" is in the name. 🙈

@treyhunner would exclude JavaScript and Lua but otoh I can't think of any major languages that use # for comments but aren't commonly considered scripting languages... you might be onto something

@treyhunner Nah. Groovy is a scripting language.

It's bad, but it's a scripting language!
We must not avert our eyes!
