Judging from your comment history, are you perhaps used to writing asynchronous code in Rust? In most languages, `Futures` start executing from when they are spawned. This is opposed to Rust, where they execute when they are `.await`ed.

Ok, 3rd edit. The promises are awaited in sequence but since they are both started before the first await they are run in parallel.

Your question about Rust futures makes a ton more sense now. This only works because a promise is self-executing / not inert like a Rust Future. Thank you kind stranger! Your async-foo is strong ^_^
