This is ridiculous. Handling real threads is much more complicated than handling async calls and the event loop of JavaScript.

Languages with threading require learning techniques to use them safely and many, including myself, have learned how.

Even if concurrency is easier to get right on node I'd say the node ecosystem has just layered on complexity in other ways to get to something just as difficult to use overall.

Promises and async/await sugar are only the tip of the iceberg.
