Front end web development is pretty much all asynchronous these days. It's mostly promise-based but it's moving towards proper async and observables, and it's possible to do 'threads' using workers that communicate over a message bus. It was possible to use array buffers to share memory between the main thread and a worker too but that's currently disabled everywhere because of Spectre (the CPU bug, not the criminal organisation in James Bond movies).
